Back pain is a common ailment that affects 50% of pregnant women. The severity can range from mere nuisance to major disability. There are a number of potential causes of back pain during pregnancy that range from loosening of the joints due to the action of certain hormones to the relatively quick increase in weight that accompanies a developing baby.
Back pain during pregnancy can be associated with pain radiating down the leg, commonly referred to as "sciatica", and in most cases it can be dealt with effectively, if the right approach is taken.
We establish a treatment strategy that is personalized to each patient. This is because there are a wide variety of factors that can conspire to create pain in the lower back that are unique to pregnancy. These factors must be detected and treated as they affect each individual.
