Herniated lumbar discs in pregnant women may be on the increase

The Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation reported in a 1995 study that the rates of herniated discs in pregnant women may well be on the rise.

 

The rise is likely related to the fact that the number of women over 30 having babies for the first time has doubled in the last 20 years.

 

This study underscores the necessity of Chiropractic care at an early age to maintain spinal integrity and prevent problems from developing later on in life that result from a lack of proper function. s
