Overview

Narrative review highlights low back pain prevalence and spinal biomechanics in pregnant individuals, suggesting interdisciplinary interventions.

Key Points

  • Up to 56% of pregnant individuals experience low back pain due to spinal changes, emphasizing the need for effective interventions.
  • Increased lumbar lordosis and altered gait mechanics elevate mechanical load on the lumbar spine during pregnancy.
  • Assessment involved systematic searches in multiple databases, culminating in the review of 53 peer-reviewed articles and their findings.
  • An interdisciplinary approach incorporating spinal biomechanics and physical therapy may optimize maternal musculoskeletal health.
