LOWER BACK PAIN

DR MICHELLE BRITS ANSWERS: Low back pain is extremely common and typically affects more than two-thirds of women during pregnancy. There are many contributing factors, which predominantly include hormonal and postural changes. It is important to note that every woman is unique, and anyone, or a combination of these factors, should be considered when searching for the cause.
