“Mommy.” A wonderful thing for a mother to hear!
Pregnancy is a marvelous time of life for most women and their families. And the transformations their bodies and spines go through are incredible and beautiful. San Jose pregnant women are usually glowing! Mysteriously, though, some of the changes may also affect her body after the baby delivers like osteoporosis. McMurray Chiropractic Solutions sees many pregnant women throughout their pregnancies. Some have back pain or leg pain; some just appreciate the gentle San Jose chiropractic treatment to keep them feeling good and alleviate any pregnancy-related back pain they may experience. Either way, McMurray Chiropractic Solutions enjoys caring for pregnant women
Fortunately it is a rare occurrence, but pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis can happen. McMurray Chiropractic Solutions closely watches our San Jose pregnant patients or women in postpartum period to see if they acquire incessant back pain, especially if they have risk factors or secondary causes of osteoporosis. What comes of pregnancy-associated-osteoporosis? Vertebral fractures. (1)
Don’t be too alarmed by vertebral fractures as a result of pregnancy associated osteoporosis as a new case report gives hope. A woman with seven vertebral compression fractures was treated conservatively with strontium ranelate and supplementation of calcium and cholecalciferol. (2) 7 fractures! Wow. This treatment combination quickly restored the bone mineral density value in this case. Imagine if you have just one fracture!
Vertebral fractures as a result of osteoporosis - pregnancy-associated or lactation-related or genetically-linked - are not to be taken lightly. McMurray Chiropractic Solutions is the chiropractic healthcare provider to trust to find and/or manage their healing.
