Summary

Research suggests that changes in pelvic alignment during the perinatal period are the primary cause of pelvic girdle pain (PGP), both perinatally and postnatally. Researchers also report an association between temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) and changes in lumbopelvic alignment. There are, however, no reports investigating temporomandibular joint disorders or changes in biomechanical alignment among women with postpartum pelvic girdle pain.
