Background:
Back pain is common during pregnancy and can have an adverse impact on the quality of life for some, yet treatment options for this population are limited. We document a chiropractic treatment that involves using kinesiology tape (tape) to help alleviate pregnancy-related back pain in two patients.
Case Presentation And Management:
Two pregnant women reported to two different chiropractic offices with varying presentations of pregnancy-related back pain. A trial of chiropractic care was rendered in both chiropractic offices, which included the application of tape.
Outcome And Discussion:
In both case presentations, the addition of tape in the lumbosacral and/or abdominal regions, decreased pain intensity from 9-10/10 to 4/10 or less on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Including a taping protocol to a plan of management in women with pregnancy-related LBP or PGP may be a safe and effective option to alleviate pain in this population.
