Toronto BACK PAIN ISSUES RELATED TO PREGNANCY: Osteoporosis & Degenerative Spondylolisthesis

Women with pregnancy-related Toronto back pain are welcomed at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre. 76% of pregnant women in a new study reported pregnancy-related back pain. Women who had back pain prior to pregnancy experienced an increased risk of pain throughout pregnancy. (1) For post-menopausal women on the whole there is a bigger risk of osteoporosis because of the fast bone loss due to estrogen depletion. Factors like obesity, age at menarche, breastfeeding, and parity also contribute. In a recent report, the prevalence for osteoporosis was 35.24%. Specifically, the risk for post-menopausal osteoporosis increased 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 increases the risk of acquiring degenerative spondylolisthesis by 22%. A hysterectomy increases twofold a woman’s odds. Why? It is proposed that it is due to low back pain and diminished abdominal muscles during and after pregnancy that establishes the spine for this condition. (3) One study stresses the fact that weak abdominal muscles influence the stability of the spine and likely promote the condition known as degenerative spondylolisthesis. This condition is more usual in women. (4) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre gently treats and eases pain of spondylolisthesis much to the liking of our Toronto chiropractic patients!
