Postpartum back pain in Bangkok
Relieve the frustration of lower back pain after pregnancy without painkillers, repeated doctor’s visits or surgery
If you or someone you know has postpartum lower back pain, stiffness or even an ache — it is very tempting to think that it is not a big deal and that it will go away on its own. Or, you pass it off as having just slept awkwardly, carrying your baby wrong, or from carrying the heavy car seat carrier,or that the stiffness you are experiencing is something you must live with because your lifestyle has changed and this is just what happens to all new mothers.
Most women seek help from their doctors and are prescribed painkillers and rest. But this is rarely ever the best advice. Often 6 weeks later, they end up going back to the doctor again because it hasn’t got any better. Worse, they’re often given yet another prescription of even stronger pills, and advised more rest. This explains why so many women are suffering from chronic lower back pain after pregnancy.
If this is happening to you, we want you to know that you’re not alone. We hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, Postpartum Back Pain is a very common problem that we see in our clinics and our treatment methods have proven very effective in resolving the issue entirely.
If your postpartum back pain isn’t going away, here are 6 more reasons why it could be lasting longer than it should:
- You thought it was a minor issue but it hasn’t gone away
- You went to the Doctor who told you to rest and take painkillers — but the pills did nothing to help your back, and as soon as they wore off, your pain returned
- A family member, or friend, told you that everybody gets Back Pain after they give birth, so you just accepted it
- You tried Googling “postpartum Back Pain” and finding YouTube exercises but they either didn’t do a thing, or made your back pain ten times worse
- You thought it would be a good idea to rest because your Back Pain was so bad, but all that did was make it feel even more stiff and tight
- You decided to get a few “massages” hoping that would fix the pain, but all they did was feel nice and relaxing, it didn’t fix your problem
If any of these have happened to you or if you know you need help but don’t know where to start or which treatment is best for you, we invite you to book a call with one of our specialists to find out what can be done to help you. The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things already is a good thing because when you know what does not work, you are closer to finding what does.
