During pregnancy, along with the development of the fetus, the mother’s body also has many changes, especially in terms of weight, causing the spine to be under greater pressure and therefore back pain. This change can cause the spine to be misaligned, tissues to become irritated and inflamed, joints to displace, and the body to be unbalanced, causing symptoms such as fatigue, numbness of the limbs, difficulty moving, pain, and fatigue,…

During pregnancy, the mother may experience back pain due to spinal diseases such as herniated discs, sciatica, degeneration of the l4 l5 back spine, etc. According to a study by the US National Library of Medicine, up to 78% of pregnant women experience low back pain during pregnancy, which seriously affects their quality of daily life.
