Study Summary
Back pain is one of the most common complaints in pregnancy. It is caused by the growing pregnant abdomen which then strains the lower back and pelvis. Often Obstetricians recommend rest, Tylenol, pelvic support belts, or exercise. Typically, these do not provide the patient much relief. A physical therapy treatment known as soft tissue mobilization (tSTM) has been shown to be helpful in treating various types of pain. This study will explore whether tSTM can improve back pain in pregnancy.
Primary Outcome
The NPRS is a scale from 0 to 10 that is commonly used to measure intensity of pain, with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing extreme pain. It is easy to understand and complete that is also valid and reliable. Due to the nature of fluctuating intensity of pain, subjects will use a NPRS to log their current pain, least pain, and most pain each day at home and at the obstetric clinic before the respective treatment. The daily pain score will be averaged, then averaged across each week. The
