Low back pain is one of the most frequent causes of pain during pregnancy and often gets
worse as it progresses. This pain can interrupt daily activities, work and has a great impact on
the quality of life of the pregnant woman. Its etiology is unknown and there are several theories
that would explain that the genesis of pain is multifactorial. As the pregnancy progresses, there
are several physiological changes that occur in the woman’s body, which could contribute to
triggering a low back pain. It has been shown that an adequate diagnosis and early management
based mainly on education, exercise and physiotherapy, achieve good results in the control of
pain and improve the quality of life. In certain cases, the use of drugs for a limited period of
time and with medical supervision may be beneficial in controlling pain.
