“…It is a physiological pathology that only appears during pregnancy and postpartum. The etiology is not clear, but the main potential factors include hormones, biomechanics, post-traumatic or degenerative diseases, pre-pregnancy low back pain history, and psychosocial factors [ 1 ]. The prevalence of low back pain during pregnancy has been reported to range from 20 to 90%, with most studies reporting a prevalence greater than 50% [ 2 – 4 ].…”

Background Low back pain during pregnancy affects the normal daily activities of pregnant women to a certain extent. Current studies have shown that Kinesio Taping (KT) may be a treatment for low back pain during pregnancy, but there is still a lack of key evidence. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KT in the treatment of low back pain during pregnancy. Methods PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, Wanfang Data, CNKI, and VIP databases were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the efficacy of KT intervention on low back pain in women during pregnancy. The retrieval time limit is from the establishment of the database to April 2021. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.3 software. Results A total of 7 RCTs were included, including 444 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that: Compared with the control group, KT intervention could significantly improve low back pain and dysfunction, VAS score (− 1.62, 95%CI − 2.08 to − 1.16, P < 0.00001, I2 = 77%), RMDQ score (− 1.00, 95%CI − 1.54 to − 0.46, P = 0.0003, I2 = 80%); The results of the meta-analysis of the subgroup showed that compared with the control group, the KT intervention was less than or equal to 1 week, and the waist pain and dysfunction were improved, with statistically significant differences. The difference in the improvement of low back pain was statistically significant after KT intervention for more than 1 week, but there was no statistically significant difference in RMDQ score (− 1.25, 95%CI − 2.66 to 0.15, P = 0.08, I2 =77%). Compared with the control group, KT intervention improved low back pain in the second and third trimesters, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion KT has a positive effect on the improvement of low back pain during pregnancy, KT intervention can significantly improve pregnant women’s low back pain and dysfunction problems, improve the quality of life. It is suggested that future research should focus on the prevention and treatment of low back pain during pregnancy to provide more research data for improving women’s health.

ImportancePelvic girdle pain is often thought to be a recent phenomenon, but this condition was described as early as 400 BC by Hippocrates. Despite being identified for years, confusion continues about the definition and management of this ailment affecting many pregnancies.ObjectivesThe purpose of the review is to assess the incidence, etiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnosis, management, and pregnancy outcomes/recovery of current pregnancies, and outcomes of future pregnancies complicated by pelvic girdle pain.Evidence AcquisitionElectronic databases (PubMed and Embase) were searched from 1980 to 2021 with the only limitation being that the articles were in English. Studies were selected that examined associations between pelvic pain/pelvic girdle pain and pregnancy.ResultsThere were 343 articles identified. After reviewing the abstracts, 88 were used in this review. Pelvic girdle pain is a common condition of pregnancy, affecting a reported 20% of pregnant women. The pathophysiology is poorly understood and likely multifactorial, involving both hormonal and biomechanical changes that occur during pregnancy. Several risk factors have been identified. This diagnosis is most commonly made based on symptoms related to pelvic pain during pregnancy. Treatment should be multimodal, including pelvic girdle support, stabilizing exercises, analgesia, and potentially complementary therapies. The effects on future pregnancies are uncertain, although some limited information suggests an increased risk of recurrent PGP in subsequent pregnancies.ConclusionsPelvic girdle pain in pregnancy is a common condition that is often overlooked as a normal part of pregnancy but has a significant impact on quality of life during, after, and in subsequent pregnancies. Multimodal therapies are available and are largely low cost and noninvasive.RelevanceOur aim is to increase the awareness of pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy as a common but often underdiagnosed and undertreated condition.Target AudienceObstetricians and gynecologist, family physicians.Learning ObjectivesAfter completing this activity, the learner should be better able to describe the diagnosis, etiology, and pathophysiology of pelvic girdle pain; identify risk factors and appropriate management; and predict reoccurrence in a subsequent pregnancy.

“…Consequently, Kuciel et al have observed that KT might work in two ways: (1) by lifting the skin, it increases the space between the skin and the tissues, which improves blood circulation and the work of muscles. In return, it stabilizes ligaments and reduces the tension of the paraspinal muscles, whereas the second way (2) has its impact on skin receptors, counteracting pain and proprioception, thus positively influencing the posture [33].…”

Kinesio taping (KT) is a method of elastic taping, created in the 1970s by a Japanese chiropractor, Dr. Kenzo Kase. The aim of this study was to present KT techniques and its application in various fields of medicine, sports and rehabilitation. The publications used in this paper were sourced from the PubMed and the Google Scholar databases. The keywords used to search databases included KT, Kinesio taping, medicine, dentistry and sport. Based on this study, it can be concluded that KT is the most recommendable method. Its use is being increasingly popular in many fields of medicine. It can be considered as an alternative for painkillers, especially in patients for whom the use of painkillers is not advisable or ineffective due to their condition. KT is well tolerated by patients and saves time; therefore, its use should be taken into account in various medical environments. In order to use this method, one should complete specialized courses, which, on the one hand, provide theoretical basis for its use, and on the other hand, teach how to choose original tapes in a practical way, as well as apply appropriate techniques in order to observe and compare the effects of one’s work – therapy and treatment.
