Abstract:

Pregnancy, or gestation, is defined as the period in which a fetus develops inside a female’s uterus. There are physiologic changes that occur as a consequence of pregnancy, which include cardiovascular changes (such as an increase in cardiac output), an increase in smooth muscle relaxation secondary to progesterone, and musculoskeletal changes. More importantly, these musculoskeletal changes, which include an increase in lumbar lordosis, forward neck flexion, and joint laxity, can result in several complaints with lower-back, pelvic and neck pain being the most prevalent. Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) can play a vital role to help alleviate these conditions throughout a woman’s pregnancy course.
