Lower Back Pain During Pregnancy."Lower back pain during pregnancy is most often related to changes in that posture that occur as your pregnancy progresses."
But, why is lower back pain so common in pregnancy? The reasons for lower back pain in pregnancy are most often related to your posture and the changes in that posture that occur when you are pregnant. The type of Lower back pain caused by posture in pregnancy is usually mild, causing you minimal problems with day to day life. Your Posture will change as your lower back is placed under increasing amounts of pressure as your baby gets bigger and drops down lower in your tummy. Also, when you’re pregnant the hormonal changes which occur can cause ligaments to become lax in your lower back and pelvis, placing more strain on your lower back, which may to be painful. More severe presentations of lower back pain related to pregnancy are conditions where your pelvis may be strained and joints in and around your pelvis go out of alignment. These injuries are usually related to the sacro-iliac joint and the symphysis-pubis joints. When these joints move out of alignment the associated lower back pain can be very severe indeed. Treating lower back pain during pregnancy is very successful overall. Where posture is the cause your physiotherapist teach you how to support your back with posture correction and advice. If you have a joint out of place, again, your Physiotherapist will correct it. Depending on the cause, they may also provide you with a pelvic brace for the remainder of your pregnancy that has been specifically designed for pregnant women . This will ease your pain and provide your pelvis with the support it needs to carry your baby! Failure to correct your alignment may make labour more difficult. So seek expert advice from the outset. In my opinion, there does not appear to be any known or obvious reason for severe lower back pain in pregnancy. It may be genetically caused or it may be that you injured your back while working with a poor lifting technique for example. Although it is important to keep active throughout pregnancy you should avoid heavy activities which may pre-dispose you to injuries, especially if you have a history of lower back pain.
