St Peters BACK PAIN ISSUES RELATED TO PREGNANCY: Osteoporosis & Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
Women with pregnancy-related St Peters back pain are welcomed at Old Mill Chiropractic. 76% of pregnant women in a new study described pregnancy-related back pain. Women who had back pain before getting pregnant had a higher risk of pain during pregnancy. (1) For post-menopausal women in general there is a bigger risk of osteoporosis because of the rapid bone loss attributed to estrogen depletion. Issues like obesity, age at menarche, breastfeeding, and parity also play a role. In a recent study, the prevalence for osteoporosis was 35.24%. Particularly, the risk for post-menopausal osteoporosis increased with the number of children a woman had (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 acquiring degenerative spondylolisthesis by 22%. A hysterectomy increases twofold a woman’s chances. Why? It’s supposed that it is due to 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 affect 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) Old Mill Chiropractic gently treats and relieves pain of spondylolisthesis much to the liking of our St Peters chiropractic patients!
