Sitka BACK PAIN ISSUES RELATED TO PREGNANCY: Osteoporosis & Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
Women with pregnancy-related Sitka back pain are welcomed at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka. 76% of pregnant women in a new study reported pregnancy-related back pain. Women who had back pain before getting pregnant had an increased risk of pain throughout pregnancy. (1) For post-menopausal women in general there is a better 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 rose 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 suggested that it is because of low back pain and decreased abdominal muscles during and after pregnancy that sets up the spine for this condition. (3) One study stresses the fact that weak abdominal muscles affect the stability of the spine and likely play a part in the condition called degenerative spondylolisthesis. This condition is more usual in women. (4) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka gently treats and eases pain of spondylolisthesis much to the pleasure of our Sitka chiropractic patients!
