“Prevention and treatment of “Bone Muscle Joint Syndrome in Pregnancy” “Bone Muscle Joint Syndrome in Pregnancy” is the main culprit of low back pain in mid and late pregnancy, with an incidence of nearly The incidence is close to 75%, and even after delivery, about 20% of women still have different degrees of residual pain, which brings a lot of trouble to the mothers-to-be. How does “Bone Muscle Joint Syndrome in Pregnancy” cause and how to prevent it is a major concern, today we will learn about it together. The medical diagnosis of low back and leg pain, which occurs in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, is “bone-muscle-joint syndrome during pregnancy”, and there are two major culprits causing its development. The first point is the change of hormone level in the body When pregnancy enters the middle and late stages, the great mothers take the initiative to make sacrifices to adapt to the fast growing baby, synthesizing “relaxin” by the trophoblastic layer of the placental ensemble and the meconium layer, which makes the ligaments of the pelvis, lumbosacral and sacrococcygeal joints relax and increase the mobility of the joints to provide a more relaxed and comfortable living environment for the baby in the womb, The price is the loss of the original stability of the pelvis and spine, which stimulates the surrounding nerves and blood vessels and causes pain. At the same time, as the weight of the fetus increases, mothers-to-be have to constantly shift the body’s center of gravity forward to ensure the stability of the body when upright, at the cost of increased lumbosacral shear forces, the muscle groups of the low back are overwhelmed and injured. At the same time, the inappropriate concept of “tonics and quiet recuperation” in our traditional culture often leads to further aggravation of the condition: the intake of large amounts of high nutrients leads to excessive and rapid weight gain, while the lack of exercise for the muscles of the low back due to the lack of activity makes it more difficult to bear the burden of rapid growth. The next five tips for mothers-to-be to overcome low back pain are: a. Reasonable diet The nutrition of the diet during pregnancy should not only ensure adequate and balanced intake of protein and fat to ensure the normal development of the fetus, but also pay attention to moderation to avoid excessive and rapid weight gain. Therefore, protein intake is recommended to be rich in high-quality protein fish, lean meat, soy foods, fat intake can choose vegetable oil, nuts and vegetable fats. Mothers-to-be with severe early pregnancy reactions and frequent vomiting can also take appropriate amounts of vitamins and trace elements under the guidance of doctors. Also remind mothers-to-be that they must say no to the overwhelming number of supplements on the market! It is recommended that mothers-to-be with severe back and leg pain may choose to temporarily stop working, rest fully and get enough sleep. The bed should be soft and hard, and the sleeping position should be left-sided, with hips and knees flexed to fully relax the muscles of the lower back. Three, belly brace General waist brace is not suitable for pregnant women to use, and belly brace is tailored for mothers-to-be with back and leg pain: belly brace to hold up the lower abdomen, can effectively reduce the burden on the waist muscles, relieve back pain. It is important to note that when worn, the enlarged abdomen should be held up from the lower abdomen at a slight incline, while the elasticity is appropriate, not too tight, breathable, not too stuffy. It is best to bed the belly band is well fixed before standing, can better play a support effect. Fourth, the choice of shoes The choice of maternity shoes should pay attention to two points: safety and comfort. Safety means reminding mothers-to-be to give up on high heels for the time being and to give priority to ensuring the stability and slip resistance of the shoes during walking activities. Comfort means that a suitable pair of maternity shoes should have good arch support and proper heel cushioning. Flat shoes or shoes with too thin a sole will transmit vibrations directly to the feet when walking, further aggravating the symptoms of back and leg pain. The best choice is currently considered to be a 15-25mm high soft-top, low-heeled shoe, which can reduce the force on the lower back and relieve back pain. Professional arch support insoles are also very effective in keeping the arch shaped, reducing plantar pressure and relieving lower limb fatigue. Five, scientific exercise The priority pregnancy exercise recommended for mothers-to-be is swimming, swimming is the best and safest way to exercise during pregnancy. The role of water buoyancy can make pregnant women reduce the body burden, relax the muscles, and at the same time can exercise the waist and pelvic muscles, ligament strength and stability, for the relief of back and leg pain has a very clear effect, while the cardiovascular function is also a lot of benefits. The “Swiss ball trunk muscle stability training” and “core stability training during pregnancy” pioneered in Western countries have clear effects in preventing and treating low back pain during pregnancy and enhancing muscle and nerve coordination. At present, there are many professional institutions and outpatient clinics in China that are actively carrying out the Swiss ball trunk stability training, which uses the unstable surface of the Swiss ball to stabilize the human trunk – lumbar – sacral – pelvic – hip muscle groups, strength, balance and other capabilities of the comprehensive Training, stabilization of muscle groups while enhancing muscle strength, mothers-to-be can conduct targeted training during pregnancy under professional guidance. “Bone, muscle and joint syndrome during pregnancy is relatively common among pregnant women. Once the symptoms appear, the mother-to-be need not be too alarmed and worried, because these symptoms are largely due to the physiological changes in the body caused by pregnancy, and most of them can be cured by themselves after delivery. And with the above five tips, mothers-to-be can definitely get their back and leg pain symptoms during pregnancy under full control.
