Carrolltown BACK PAIN ISSUES RELATED TO PREGNANCY: Osteoporosis & Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
Women with pregnancy-related Carrolltown back pain are welcomed at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation. 76% of pregnant women in a new study reported pregnancy-related back pain. Women who had back pain prior to pregnancy had an increased risk of pain during pregnancy. (1) For post-menopausal women on the whole there is an increased risk of osteoporosis due to the rapid bone loss attributed to estrogen reduction. Factors like obesity, age at menarche, breastfeeding, and parity also play a part. In a recent study, the prevalence for osteoporosis was 35.24%. Specifically, the risk for post-menopausal osteoporosis increased with the number of children a woman birthed (higher at more than 4 children) and with the older age (highest at over 35 years) of the mother at the last childbirth. (2) Each full-term pregnancy increases the risk of developing degenerative spondylolisthesis by 22%. A hysterectomy increases twofold a woman’s odds. Why? It’s proposed that it is because of low back pain and diminished abdominal muscles during and after pregnancy that sets up the spine for this condition. (3) One study points out the fact that weak abdominal muscles influence the stability of the spine and likely play a part in the condition known as degenerative spondylolisthesis. This condition is more common in women. (4) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation gently treats and relieves pain of spondylolisthesis much to the pleasure of our Carrolltown chiropractic patients!
