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 change in body posture is what is thought to cause most of this pain. Most of this pain is experienced in the lower back, pelvis and pubic areas. One of the braces can help to reduce the pain. There is a range of exercises that can be done and these help with stretching and mobilising the muscles. A cold or hot compress can also help to reduce the amount of pain that is experienced.

The pain that can be experienced in pregnancy tends to be as a result of physiological or biomechanical changes which take place in the body. Having a baby stretches the abdominal muscles and they can then become ineffective in maintaining a normal posture.

During pregnancy a lot of pressure is put on the ligament and this leads to instability which will be aggravated due to the slackening of the ligaments by the hormone known as relaxin. Relaxin is secreted during the later part of pregnancy to encourage the muscles to relax in the pubic area.

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 some treatment methods that can be used and these can include massages, hot water bottles, heat pads and also supportive braces. Pain medication is another method of treatment that is worth considering however this should be prescribed by the doctor. The supportive brace can help to reduce pain especially whilst walking.

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.

It is a good idea to avoid lifting or if it cant be avoided at least do it in the correct manner. Lifting in an inappropriate manner will put additional strain. One of the things that is worth considering even before you experience pain is to wear a brace as this will ensure that posture is correct.
