Tratamiento del dolor lumbar en mujeres en estadio de pre y post-parto

Abstract

This research arises from the identification of a gap in the kinesiological care provided by the healthcare centers in the city of Viedma, Río Negro, for pregnant women and during the postpartum period. This lack in the service offered by the Hospital Artémides Zatti leads to an increase in cases of women with moderate to severe lumbar pain, negatively affecting the future health of the mothers. In light of this situation, supported by theoretical and field investigation, a propositional study was conducted on the case of the Primary Health Care Center in the San Martín neighborhood, and a preventive kinesiological plan for lumbar pain is presented for both relevant stages in women's lives, pre and postpartum. Objective: To determine the intensity of lumbar pain during pregnancy, compare the pain before and after delivery, identify risk factors that trigger lumbar pain in women participating in the Maternity Preparation Course at the Primary Health Care Center in the San Martín neighborhood in the city of Viedma, Río Negro province. Lastly, to investigate through a Google form survey whether they received a recommendation for kinesiological treatment pre and postpartum. Methodology: This research is partly quantitative because surveys were conducted using a Google form with women who took the Maternity Preparation Course, graphs were created, health professionals were interviewed, and objective data were collected at the Hospital Artémides Zatti in Viedma, Río Negro province. On the other hand, using a qualitative methodology, a plan of controlled exercises for the pre and postpartum periods was developed. Results: Of the 17 respondents, 3 reported mild pain, 11 reported moderate pain, and 3 reported severe pain. In the prepartum period, 82.4% of participants reported lumbar pain. After delivery, the pain decreased by 64.7%. None of the participants received a kinesiological recommendation. Conclusion: Early intervention during pregnancy could prevent the establishment of a chronic condition such as pregnancy-related low back pain.
