Abstract:

Low back pain is among the most common complications during pregnancy and labor, reported in over one half of all pregnancies. Therefore, the physician must effectively address this pain for the most efficient parturition experience. This case presents many implications for osteopathic manipulative treatment and its effectiveness in treating back pain concurrent with parturition. Somatic dysfunctions corresponding to pain sensations are common ailments during pregnancy and, thus, osteopathic manipulative treatment is uniquely suited to treating the biomechanical challenges of pregnancy. We review the indications for and possible physiologic mechanisms of different manipulative techniques for treatment of back pain in the pregnant patient, with emphasis on the role of osteopathic manipulative medicine during the parturient experience.
