Prevalence of Low Back Pain, Pelvic Girdle Pain, and Combination Pain in a Postpartum Ontario Population.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that 76% to 80% of respondents were pain free at 1, 3, and 6 months postpartum. Pregnancy-related back pain was the only risk factor associated with postpartum-related pain at the 1 to 3 and 3 to 6 month time interval. Identification of site-specific postpartum-related back pain may assist in determination of management and treatment plans for this population. PMID: 31864910 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
