Back pain in pregnancy
Author: Ann Brown
Why did it happen?
The aches and back pains in pregnancy due to the following factors:
The column, back axle, is designed, for every woman to bear a certain amount of weight. Pregnancy and the resulting overweight makes the column “charge more”. If this weight is not distributed well happen that the areas are bearing the brunt rigid contractures that lead to these pains. Hence the position is so important to avoid pain.
If your back is straight, the weight is distributed on both sides. If, however, is bent, the more weight goes to one side.
Another factor is the excess of sedentary lifestyle. Pregnant needs to do gymnastics to bend the spine and ease tense muscles.
In turn, we can distinguish three broad areas of the back: a) lower back, b) dorsal or medium, and c) cervical area. It is important to distinguish which area of the back more annoying because there are special exercises for each. A psychosomatic level, the back represents support, bear, endure. So choose what and how to hold, more and autoexigirse not able to express (mourn, cry, etc..) Are still required to achieve discharge defuse these tensions.
How to prevent back pain?
* Do not carry purses or carry heavy bags and more bags if I distributed the weight in two.
* Sit with your spine straight, not unduly tilt the body, etc.. In a word maintain consciousness during the day in the back should be not required
* Use low heels.
* When lifting, bend your knees and keep your back straight.
* Perform exercises to strengthen your back. Check with your doctor.
Something very important: the relaxin, a hormone that loosens the ligaments in every joint, provides a wonderful opportunity to change positions. Thus, scoliosis and other conditions during pregnancy can be cured if it is the appropriate remedial gymnastics. It is always wise doctor’s approval to perform gymnastics during pregnancy.
