Hello Doctor,
I am a C-Section mother suffering from back pain often. May I know the treatment?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Congratulations on the birth of your baby! The back pain you're experiencing is not uncommon, especially after a C-section. From what you're describing, it seems like the pain may be related to post-pregnancy changes in your posture and core strength.
2. During pregnancy, the body adapts to support the growing baby, which can cause an increased curve in the lower back (hyperlordosis) and weaken your tummy and core muscles. After a C-section, the muscles that support your abdomen are also impacted, which can contribute to discomfort.
3. The best treatment would involve strengthening your core muscles and improving posture. I recommend starting with Pilates exercises that focus on breathing techniques and core strengthening.
4. Alternatively, exercises like cat-cow stretches and pelvic tilts, done on all fours, can help realign your spine and relieve tension.
5. It's important to start slowly and consult with a physical therapist or fitness professional to ensure you're doing exercises that are safe and effective for your condition. I wish you all the best in your recovery and hope you feel better soon!
Thanks
