Richmond BACK PAIN ISSUES RELATED TO PREGNANCY:
Osteoporosis & Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
Women with pregnancy-related Richmond back pain
are welcomed at Johnson Chiropractic. 76% of pregnant women in a recent
study described pregnancy-related back pain. Women who dealt
with back pain before getting pregnant experienced
an increased risk of pain throughout pregnancy. (1)
For post-menopausal women on the whole there is a bigger risk of osteoporosis due to the fast
bone loss due to estrogen reduction. Issues
like obesity, age at menarche, breastfeeding, and parity also contribute. In a recent report, the prevalence for osteoporosis was 35.24%. Specifically,
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 developing
degenerative spondylolisthesis by 22%. A hysterectomy doubles a woman’s chances. Why? It is supposed
that it’s 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 play a part in the condition called degenerative spondylolisthesis. This condition is more common
in women. (4) Johnson Chiropractic gently treats and eases
pain of spondylolisthesis much to the liking of our Richmond
chiropractic patients!
