Manual therapy for postpartum symphysis pubis diastasis: a case report
TCM spinal correction therapy could offer rapid and effective relief for postpartum SPD, providing a nonsurgical approach. This case highlights the potential of TCM in managing SPD, particularly for patients seeking conservative treatment options. Further research with larger sample sizes is recommended to validate these findings and explore the mechanisms underlying TCM's efficacy in SPD management.
