Ashburn and Herndon BACK PAIN ISSUES RELATED TO PREGNANCY: Osteoporosis & Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
Women with pregnancy-related Ashburn and Herndon back pain are welcomed at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn. 76% of pregnant women in a new study described pregnancy-related back pain. Women who dealt with back pain prior to pregnancy experienced a higher risk of pain throughout pregnancy. (1) For post-menopausal women on the whole there is an increased risk of osteoporosis because of the fast bone loss attributed to estrogen reduction. Factors like obesity, age at menarche, breastfeeding, and parity also contribute. In a new 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 acquiring degenerative spondylolisthesis by 22%. A hysterectomy doubles a woman’s odds. Why? It’s suggested that it’s because of low back pain and decreased abdominal muscles during and after pregnancy that sets up the spine for this condition. (3) One study stresses 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) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn gently treats and eases pain of spondylolisthesis much to the liking of our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients!
