Help Back Pain Using A Pregnancy Back Brace

By Olivia Cross


Research on pregnant women have found that almost fifty per cent of them have at some point experienced pain. This pain tends to happen in the later part of pregnancy and it can last for a few months after the birth. The pregnancy back brace is a great way of reducing pain. All women who have been pregnant can talk in great detail about the pain that they have experienced. The pain that is experienced can affect the daily activities and the ability of the person to work.

The pain that the women experiences can be due to the change in posture or the change in the way that the muscles are getting used. The pain will mostly be experienced in the pubic regions, pelvis and in the lower back. A lot of the pain can be alleviated by using one of the braces that are designed for pregnant women. There is some mobilisation and stretching exercises that can be used to help with the pain. Details of these exercises can be obtained from a doctor or a physical therapist. A combination of the exercises and making use of either something cold or something hot can help to limit the pain when it is associated with posture.

The physiological and biochemical changes within the body is one of the main reasons for the pain whilst pregnant. The abdominal muscles are stretched whilst you are pregnant during and this can lead to the body struggling to maintain a normal posture. Due to the change in posture the muscles and ligaments become weak and the spine will lose the stability.

Pregnancy places a lot of strain on the ligaments of the spine and the instability of the spine is aggravated due to the loosening of the ligaments by the hormone relaxin which occurs in the last trimester. Relaxin is the hormone that is secreted during the third trimester in order to create joint laxity in the symphysis pubis and the sacroiliac joints in order to accommodate the fetus.

There is a lot of options when it comes to pain relief however some of these will not be suitable for pregnant women. One of the methods is electrotherapeutics however there is not a lot of information known about the effects of this treatment. This treatment works by adjusting and manipulating the joints of the body. There is no known information on the effects of the unborn baby therefore possibly not worth taking the risk.

There is a lot of safe methods that can be used to treat pain that happens in pregnancy. The safe methods include hot water bottles, heated pads, massages or a supportive brace.

It is possible to reduce the amount of pressure on the back just by making small changes. Low heeled supportive shoes will be a good idea for during pregnancy as this will help to give this area of the body some support, through ensure the correct curvature of the back.

Another thing that is worth doing is to not lift anything that is heavy or if you need to lift something then do it in the correct way. Lifting things in the correct way will mean that you are able to avoid putting stress on your back.
