San Jose BACK PAIN ISSUES RELATED TO PREGNANCY: Osteoporosis & Degenerative Spondylolisthesis

Women with pregnancy-related San Jose back pain are welcomed at Chiropractic Solutions. 76% of pregnant women in a recent study reported pregnancy-related back pain. Women who had back pain prior to pregnancy experienced a higher risk of pain during pregnancy. (1) For post-menopausal women on the whole there is a better risk of osteoporosis because of the rapid bone loss attributed to estrogen depletion. Issues 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 rose 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 ups the risk of developing degenerative spondylolisthesis by 22%. A hysterectomy increases twofold a woman’s odds. Why? It’s proposed that it’s because of low back pain and reduced abdominal muscles during and after pregnancy that establishes the spine for this condition. (3) One study points out the fact that weak abdominal muscles influence the stability of the spine and likely play a part in the condition known as degenerative spondylolisthesis. This condition is more common in women. (4) Chiropractic Solutions gently treats and alleviates pain of spondylolisthesis much to the pleasure of our San Jose chiropractic patients!
