Pregnancy-related lower back and pelvic pain is a common concern among expecting mothers. As the baby grows, it adds weight and pressure on the pelvis, causing changes in posture and alignment. Hormonal changes can also soften the ligaments, causing instability and discomfort in the lower back and pelvic area. This can lead to difficulty in sleeping, standing, walking, and performing daily activities.
A study conducted by the American Pregnancy Association revealed that around 50-70% of pregnant women experience lower back pain. Around 25% of pregnant women experience pelvic girdle pain. These symptoms usually start during the second half of pregnancy and can last up to a few months after delivery.
At Shoreham Osteopathy Centre, we offer safe and effective osteopathic treatments that can alleviate pregnancy-related lower back and pelvic pain. Our experienced practitioners use gentle hands-on techniques to help restore proper alignment, enhance circulation, and improve mobility. Moreover, we provide valuable advice on posture, exercise, and nutrition that can help promote a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
As the baby grows, expecting mothers may experience changes in their hormones and weight distribution. Softening of the ligaments can cause instability in the pelvic area, which can lead to lower back and pelvic pain. Moreover, the additional weight of the baby can also add pressure on the pelvis, resulting in discomfort and pain.
Pregnancy can also bring physical changes in expecting mothers, such as changes in posture, center of gravity, and balance. These changes can put additional stress on the lower back and pelvic area, leading to pain and discomfort. At Shoreham Osteopathy Centre, our practitioners use gentle hands-on techniques to help alleviate pregnancy-related lower back and pelvic pain safely and effectively.
Expecting mothers may experience different types of pain, such as sharp or dull pain, intermittent or constant pain, and pain that radiates or stays in one area. The pain can be felt in the lower back area, groin, hips, thighs, and buttocks.
