Back pain during pregnancy

Back pain is a common challenge for 70% of expectant mothers. In Gloucester, chiropractic care is a trusted solution for alleviating discomfort during pregnancy.

Pregnancy brings about various physiological changes that can impact a woman’s posture and strain ligaments and joints, particularly in the pelvic area.

The combination of altered posture, weight gain, and ligament laxity can exert additional pressure on these joints, potentially leading to discomfort. In Gloucester, it’s noted that up to 70% of women may encounter lumbo-pelvic pain during pregnancy, with about 20% experiencing this pain 18 months after childbirth. The likelihood of developing pain tends to rise with the number of previous births.

Risk factors

Risk factors for developing back pain pre- and post-partum:

Pain in previous pregnancy
Heavy workload
Early onset of pain in pregnancy
Low mobility

Centre of gravity
