"How to Manage Low Back Pain in Pregnant Women with Diabetes"
2024 research looked into if pregnant women are more susceptible to back pain if they have type 1 diabetes
They found the following:
Diabetes IS associated with muscle function
In pregnancy, low back pain and pelvic pain are moderate, but increase if you are pregnant with diabetes
The low back pain is getting worse in the 2nd trimester
Type 1 diabetes can manifest at ANY age but is more likely diagnosed before 30, up to 5% of pregnant women are affected by diabetes
The prevalence of low back and pelvic pain in women ranges from 30-78%
During the gestational period, the skeletal muscle is the main target organ of glucose metabolism, and its contractile potential is directly altered by the action of progesterone
How Chiropractic can help pregnant woman:
Adjust the fixed joints in the spine to improve spinal hygiene
Work on the surrounding muscles of the lower back and hip
Stretching the joints
Using the Webster technique, improving the position of the neonate.
