Common spinal issues during pregnancy include low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica. Low back pain is often due to the increased lumbar lordosis and weakened abdominal muscles. Pelvic girdle pain can result from the relaxation of ligaments and joints in the pelvic area. Sciatica, characterized by pain radiating down the leg, can occur when the growing uterus compresses the sciatic nerve.
