Get Relief From Back Pain During Pregnancy
Back pain is one of the most well-known and common ailments experienced by women. In fact, it’s estimated to affect around 50-70% of women at some point during their pregnancy.
One reason for this additional weight gain and changes in your posture can strain the back muscles. However, hormonal changes also loosen ligaments and joints, which contributes to discomfort.
This pain can occur in various parts of your back, including the lower back pain, pelvic girdle pain, or sciatica (that radiates from the lower back to the legs).
Did you know that back pain can occur at any stage of pregnancy? However, it is more common in the later trimesters as the baby grows larger. Fortunately, our London based clinic PelviCare can support you throughout your journey.
What can bring relief from back pain during pregnancy?
There are various ways to manage back pain during pregnancy, including maintaining a proper posture, regular exercise (approved by a healthcare provider), using supportive footwear, sleeping on a firm mattress, using pillows for support, and practicing relaxation techniques.
PelviCare can provide a range of treatments that help with issues like back pain.
Engaging in exercises that strengthen the back muscles and maintaining good posture can help prevent or alleviate back pain during pregnancy. Our experts at PelviCare can provide physiotherapy sessions which are tailored to your needs.
We can also provide support during the postpartum period. While back pain often improves after childbirth as the body returns to its pre-pregnancy state, some women might continue to experience discomfort for some time.
