The Study Focuses on the Release of the Iliolumbar Ligament Using a Pumped Technique, Addressing Its Tightness Caused by Excessive Anterior Pelvic Tilt During Pregnancy. This Condition Often Results in Low Back Pain and Mechanical Dysfunction of the Lumbar and Sacroiliac Regions.
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
The iliolumbar ligament, one of the sacroiliac ligaments, has been identified in recent research as a contributor to low back pain when tight. During pregnancy, hormonal changes and postural changes can cause this ligament to tighten, leading to pain. Releasing the iliolumbar ligament can reduce low back pain and restore normal mechanical function.
