In this episode, Dr. Tom examines the common issue of back pain experienced by many women after pregnancy. Let’s delve into the root causes of this issue and explore effective strategies to uncover viable solutions.
Post-pregnancy back pain is something we see all the time at DPT. At first, many new moms think it’s normal and will eventually go away. Then 5 years later they are still experiencing back pain. Women experience physiological changes from pregnancy including loosened joints, relaxed ligaments, and altered posture from weight gain, making the back more susceptible to injury or pain.
With time and proper rehabilitation, post-pregnancy back pain is very manageable and preventable from becoming chronic for most women.
This episode is dedicated to understanding why this happens and how to find a solution. Listen to find some answers.
