Pregnancy back pain

Back pain during pregnancy can be caused by a number of factors, including instability in the spinal muscles. This can lead to a lot of discomfort for the mother-to-be, and it is important to seek expert help if you are experiencing this kind of pain. Women who have back pain during their first pregnancy are more likely to experience it during subsequent pregnancies, so it is important to be aware of the potential for this problem.

Back pain during pregnancy is very common, but there are ways to help relieve it. Here are some possible pregnancy back pain symptoms:

  • A dull and persistent ache in the lower back
  • Pain that radiates from the lower back into the buttocks which is generally caused by lumbar spinal stenosis
  • Pain that occurs near your pelvis and feels like it is deep within your lower back (also known as posterior pelvic pain)
  • Tingling or numbness that moves from the lower back and down one or both legs (sciatica)

Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause back pain. It can take a while for these hormonal levels to return to normal, which is why post-natal back pain is not uncommon.

While there are many potential causes of prenatal back pain, some of the more common ones include:

  • Posture changes due to a shift in the centre of gravity
  • Excessive weight gain will increase the stress on the back muscles
  • Psychological stress can result in the tightening of back muscles and lead to back
    pain

I have been visiting the clinic for the past two years and my experience has been great. Dr. Kant is very knowledgeable and he treats his patients with full dedication and patience. I underwent treatment for my neck and back pain and I got relief after just a few sessions of dry needling. So, I would recommend everyone to visit KALP HEALTH CARE for any kind of physiotherapy treatment.

At the age of 53, a back problem is scary when a doctor tells you that you need 10 days of bed rest or surgery! I went to Kalp expecting the usual steps of physiotherapy, but I couldn't even stand up straight or get out of bed without shooting pain. This is an example of not judging a book by its cover. Dr. Kant is a simple man but a magician when it comes to his treatment. He is passionate and positive about his treatment and knows the human body like the back of his hand. A dedicated team with Dr. Monika and Dr. Rakesh got me on my feet in just 3 days. This is the best treatment I could have asked for!

Dr. Kant and his clinic are excellent in treating muscular and spinal issues - it's very clean and hygienic. Dr. Kant has great understanding and knowledge, quickly reaching to the root of what's wrong and able to provide Relief within a few sessions. I found a solution to my spine problem after seeking treatment from Dr. Kant - I had tried all kinds of treatments before but hadn't been able to find any relief.
