Why Pregnancy Back Brace Is What You Need

By Andrew Schmidt


If you are pregnant and in pain, just understand that you are not alone. Fifty percent of all pregnant women report experiencing some form of back pain. It may be mild or severe but either way, it affects their daily life and activities. However, this not need to be the case, by taking correct measures like regular exercise, correct posture, massage and other therapies can greatly minimize this pain. In addition to this, the pregnancy back brace has been designed specifically to tackle the pain and ensure that you go through this period feeling better.

Pregnancy back pain is a common type of pain and is most likely to occur in the second half of pregnancy. It is experienced at the point where the pelvis meets the spine, the lumber spine, and ate the sacroiliac joint. It can be caused by several factors, including the hormonal changes, muscle separation, weight gain, change of posture and stress.

The hormonal change is normal when any woman gets pregnant. Relaxin, for instance, is a hormone released during this period. It results in the relaxation of the ligaments located in the pelvic area, making the joints looser as part of preparation for the birth of the child. When these hormones lead to loosening of the ligaments that supports the spine, it leads to pain and instability.

If the target is to lift some weight off the abdomen, a wide brace is recommended. It specifically targets the lower back pain. However, if it is a pelvic related pain, a pelvic belt is recommended. It is much narrower and will fit in the lower abdomen. It helps hold the pelvic bones together.

They are specifically designed to be adjustable and fit as the body size changes with growing fetus. It is there to specifically support the rapidly changing structure of the body and help distribute weight equally thereby minimize the pain associated with the process. It is designed with a foam belly part that is meant to fit under the belly thereby providing the list to the abdomen as required.

If a backache only came when you got pregnant, then the pain is likely to fade away before giving birth. However, there are several measures that can be taken to treat the ache or make it milder. You should also work on your posture when sleeping, walking or sitting.

When it comes to the process of maintenance, it's quite easy. It is washed in the ordinary machine wash. However, caution must be taken not to iron the belt or use any dryer. IT should be washed with a mild detergent and then dry in the sun.

The general exercises that help strengthen the muscles and boosts flexibility can also prove helpful. The safe exercises range from swimming, walking, to stationary cycling. The supporting back brace has also worked for thousands of women out there. The brace is specifically designed for the pregnant women and should be recommended by the physiotherapists who help you make the right choice.
