How Dynaspine helps during pregnancy
Back pain in pregnant women is a frequent problem affecting almost 70% at some stage of their pregnancy. There are many causes of these
back problems:
Increased pressure on your back – The baby tips your pelvis forwards, which compresses some of your spinal joints, placing pressure on the arch of your back. This results in an ache in your back.
Destabilising of your pelvis – During pregnancy the ligaments around your pelvic region loosen as your hormones prepare your body for child birth. As the ligaments loosen, your pelvis and lower back can become destabilised, leading to pain and discomfort.
Physical activity – Many pregnant women find that as their routine adjusts to their levels of physical activity decrease to cope with the different phases during pregnancy, they become less physical. As they begin to do less physical activity, the muscles in and around the back weaken. As a result your pelvis and back become unstable.
Despite the high risk of back problems during pregnancy, there are many ways to manage discomfort. Leading UK Physiotherapist and Biomechanics coach, Martin Haines recommends back supports, “there are many different types...you need to look for a portable back support that you can put in any chair”.
“It is critical that as well as providing your back with support, the back support encourages you to move.” Generic back supports that are static hold your spine in one position, this can lead to back ache. Our backs were designed to move so if they are held static, the muscles, joints and nerves cease up. It is also important to keep your back moving so your core muscles engage, reminding them how to work. This engagement helps your back to remain stabilised, even when you’re not using a back support.
Haines advises his patients to purchase the Dynaspine Back Support for pregnancy due to its two flexible back support plates. Dynaspine is the first back support of its kind. The plates adjust and mould to the contours of the spine, keeping your back mobile. Dynaspine can also be used by all the family, so you don’t have to just use it during pregnancy.
