Abstract

Pregnancy-related low back pain (PRLBP) or Gestational back pain (GBP) is a common clinical presentation in women during pregnancy and childbirth. The objective of this review article was to update the existing evidence through a PubMed search of relevant literature. There were studies on definition and historical presentation, causes, biomechanical factors, risk factors, prevalence and incidence, management including conservative treatment options such as acupuncture, physiotherapy (physical therapy) and pain management. Preventive studies were not found, which essentiates need for future studies in order to inform clinical practice. 

Keywords: Obstetric back pain; Orthopaedic gynecology; Gynecological rehabilitation; Obstetric rehabilitation.
