Why does my low back hurt after pregnancy?

Thursday, March 3, 2011

Your Chiropractic Neurology questions answered: 

 

Dear Dr. McNally, 

 

"I gave birth to my daughter 3 months ago. It is my first child and the delivery was relatively easy. I’ve recovered well and have begun some moderate exercise and stretching but my lower spine hurts. It feels like something is pulling on my low back when I am walking, lifting, or standing. What is going on here?”
