Stuber KJ, Smith DL. Chiropractic treatment of pregnancy-related low back pain: a systematic review of the evidence. J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2008 Jul-Aug;31(6):447-54.
Results from the 6 included studies showed that chiropractic care is associated with improved outcomes in pregnancy-related LBP.
Gutke A, Ostgaard HC, Oberg B. Predicting persistent pregnancy-related low back pain. Spine. 2008 May 20;33(12):E386-93.
Predictors for having persistent PGP or combined pain after delivery were low endurance of back flexors, older age, combined pain in early pregnancy and work dissatisfaction. Identification of women at risk for persistent pain postpartum seems possible in early pregnancy and requires physical examination and self-reports.
Gutke A, Ostgaard HC, Oberg B. Association between muscle function and low back pain in relation to pregnancy. J Rehabil Med. 2008 Apr;40(4):304-11.
Women with pelvic girdle pain and/or combined pelvic girdle pain and lumbar pain had lower values for trunk muscle endurance, hip extension and gait speed as compared to women without low back pain in pregnancy and postpartum (p < 0.001-0.04). Women with pelvic girdle pain throughout the study had lower values of back flexor endurance compared with women without low back pain. Muscle dysfunction was associated with pelvic girdle pain, which should be taken into consideration when developing treatment strategies and preventive measures.
Smith MD, Russell A, Hodges PW. Is there a relationship between parity, pregnancy, back pain and incontinence? Int Urogynecol J Pelvic Floor Dysfunct. 2008 Feb;19(2):205-11. Epub 2007 Jul 31.
This study suggests that pregnancy may lead to earlier development of back pain, without affecting long-term prevalence. Incontinence and back pain may be related because of contribution of the trunk muscles to continence and lumbopelvic control.
Pennick VE, Young G. Interventions for preventing and treating pelvic and back pain in pregnancy. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2007 Apr 18;(2):CD001139
Adding pregnancy-specific exercises, physiotherapy or acupuncture to usual prenatal care appears to relieve back or pelvic pain more than usual prenatal care alone, although the effects are small. We do not know if they actually prevent pain from starting in the first place. Water gymnastics appear to help women stay at work. Acupuncture shows better results compared to physiotherapy.
