West Des Moines BACK PAIN ISSUES RELATED TO PREGNANCY: Osteoporosis & Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
Women with pregnancy-related West Des Moines back pain are welcomed at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa. 76% of pregnant women in a new study described pregnancy-related back pain. Women who dealt with back pain before getting pregnant experienced a higher risk of pain during pregnancy. (1) For post-menopausal women in general there is a bigger risk of osteoporosis due to the fast bone loss due to estrogen reduction. Factors like obesity, age at menarche, breastfeeding, and parity also play a role. In a new study, 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 increases twofold a woman’s chances. Why? It’s supposed that it is 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 affect the stability of the spine and likely promote the condition known as degenerative spondylolisthesis. This condition is more usual in women. (4) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa gently treats and alleviates pain of spondylolisthesis much to the liking of our West Des Moines chiropractic patients!
