Post-C-section back discomfort is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood pains women experience after giving birth, and the most surprising thing about it is that the majority of them consider it “normal” and will disappear on its own, but the fact is… if the root cause is not treated early, this same pain can haunt you for months and even years.
Every day, thousands of new mothers face these difficulties: sitting, breastfeeding, carrying their newborn, getting up from bed, climbing stairs – that is the way it is after birth, the core muscles get weakened, C-section cuts, and hormones soften your ligaments, posture changes, pelvic floor drops – and that is when the lower back gets the most pressure.
As a result, in Lahore, most of the mothers who had a C-section report suffering from severe back pain within 2-4 months after delivery. The positive aspect is that this pain can be treated, managed, and reversed through physiotherapy, strengthening, and posture correction.
This blog is written professionally under the guidance of Dr. Ahmad Bilal – one of Lahore’s top physiotherapists specializing in postnatal rehabilitation.
What causes Post-C-Section Back Pain?
Because your body had to handle a surgical procedure plus the pregnancy weight, plus the hormonal changes.
The main contributors are:
- Weakened Core & Abdominal Muscles
- Spinal Instability
- Soreness in the Epidural anesthesia injection site
- Incorrect breastfeeding posture
- Prolonged sitting with the infant
- Changes in pelvis alignment
Thus the problem is not merely with your bones… it is a complete “core system breakdown”.
What really helps?
Only a few hours of numbing with medication.
Physiotherapy heals the root of the problem.
Quickly working treatment options:
- strengthening the pelvic floor
- activating the core muscles
- correct breathing exercises
- correcting the posture during breastfeeding
- working on spine stability
- gradual return to activity safely
Mothers start to feel relief within 3-4 sessions if they are guided by the right expert.
