About half of pregnant women experience low back pain, often due to sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Physically demanding jobs and prior back pain increase this risk during pregnancy.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Orthopedics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Low back pain (LBP) is a common complaint during pregnancy.
  • Identifying risk factors for pregnancy-related LBP is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of low back pain in pregnant women.
  • To identify the primary causes of severe pregnancy-related low back pain.
  • To determine risk factors associated with developing low back pain and sacroiliac joint dysfunction during pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 862 pregnant women in Ostergötland, Sweden.
  • Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data on low back pain.
  • Women with severe LBP were referred for orthopedic and orthoneurologic examination.

Main Results:

  • Approximately 50% of pregnant women reported experiencing some degree of low back pain.
  • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction was the most frequent cause of severe LBP.
  • Physically strenuous work and a history of low back pain were significant risk factors.

Conclusions:

  • Low back pain is highly prevalent in pregnant women.
  • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a primary contributor to severe pregnancy-related LBP.
  • Occupational physical demands and prior LBP history necessitate targeted interventions for pregnant women.
