Pregnancy is not a sickness but an integral part of a woman’s life, it does sometimes pose a problem in carrying out everyday tasks. While someone women face morning sickness, a few others make tend to swell up. Not quite noticeable others may bring alive their nesting instincts and inability to concentrate on activities.
In these trying times a to-be-mum is normally advised to stay calm and stress free. It now appears that that alternative treatment like acupuncture might also help mums to be. A new study by experts at the Sahlgrenska Academy in Gothenburg, Sweden, reveal that acupuncture can help women who suffer from crippling pain particularly pelvic girdle pain (PGP) allowing them carry on with their daily lives.
“The results of this study are encouraging as it shows that acupuncture could improve the lives of women with PGP. Complementary therapies like acupuncture may help relieve certain types of pain but their efficacy remains to be proven and more research is needed. For some women the hope of pain relief is enough reason for them to undergo alternative treatments. However, women should consult their doctors and midwives and not abandon traditional medicine”, mentioned Professor Philip Steer, editor-in-chief of the BJOG.
