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

Women with pregnancy-related Vancouver back pain are welcomed at Vancouver Disc Centers. 76% of pregnant women in a recent study described pregnancy-related back pain. Women who had 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 rapid bone loss attributed to estrogen depletion. Factors like obesity, age at menarche, breastfeeding, and parity also play a role. In a new study, the incidence of osteoporosis was 35.24%. Specifically, the risk for post-menopausal osteoporosis increased with the number of children a woman birthed (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 odds. Why? It’s proposed that it’s because of low back pain and diminished abdominal muscles during and after pregnancy that sets up the spine for this condition. (3) One study stresses the fact that weak abdominal muscles influence the stability of the spine and likely contribute to the condition known as degenerative spondylolisthesis. This condition is more usual in women. (4) Vancouver Disc Centers gently treats and eases pain of spondylolisthesis much to the pleasure of our Vancouver chiropractic patients!
