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 reported pregnancy-related back pain. Women who dealt with back pain before getting pregnant experienced an increased risk of pain during pregnancy. (1) For post-menopausal women on the whole there is a bigger risk of osteoporosis because of the rapid bone loss attributed to estrogen depletion. Factors like obesity, age at menarche, breastfeeding, and parity also play a role. In a new report, the prevalence for osteoporosis was 35.24%. Specifically, the risk for post-menopausal osteoporosis rose 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 ups the risk of developing degenerative spondylolisthesis by 22%. A hysterectomy doubles a woman’s odds. Why? It is proposed that it is because of low back pain and decreased 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 contribute to the condition known as degenerative spondylolisthesis. This condition is more common in women. (4) Vancouver Disc Centers gently treats and alleviates pain of spondylolisthesis much to the liking of our Vancouver chiropractic patients!
