Manchester BACK PAIN ISSUES RELATED TO PREGNANCY: Osteoporosis & Degenerative Spondylolisthesis

Women with pregnancy-related Manchester back pain are welcomed at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries. 76% of pregnant women in a recent study reported pregnancy-related back pain. Women who dealt with back pain prior to pregnancy experienced a higher risk of pain throughout pregnancy. (1) For post-menopausal women in general there is a better risk of osteoporosis due to the fast bone loss attributed to estrogen depletion. Factors like obesity, age at menarche, breastfeeding, and parity also play a part. In a new report, 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 ups the risk of developing degenerative spondylolisthesis by 22%. A hysterectomy doubles a woman’s chances. Why? It’s supposed that it is due to low back pain and decreased 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 contribute to the condition known as degenerative spondylolisthesis. This condition is more usual in women. (4) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries gently treats and relieves pain of spondylolisthesis much to the pleasure of our Manchester chiropractic patients!
