Toronto BACK PAIN ISSUES RELATED TO PREGNANCY: Osteoporosis & Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
Women with pregnancy-related Toronto back pain are welcomed at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre. 76% of pregnant women in a recent study described pregnancy-related back pain. Women who experienced back pain before getting pregnant experienced a higher 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 attributed to estrogen depletion. Factors like obesity, age at menarche, breastfeeding, and parity also contribute. In a recent study, the prevalence for osteoporosis was 35.24%. Specifically, 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 ups the risk of acquiring degenerative spondylolisthesis by 22%. A hysterectomy increases twofold a woman’s odds. Why? It is supposed that it’s because of low back pain and diminished abdominal muscles during and after pregnancy that establishes the spine for this condition. (3) One study stresses the fact that weak abdominal muscles influence 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) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre gently treats and relieves pain of spondylolisthesis much to the pleasure of our Toronto chiropractic patients!
