Abstract
<p><em>Pregnancy-related back pain poses a significant health challenge globally, affecting approximately 25% of pregnant individuals, with nearly half continuing to experience discomfort postpartum. While often categorized as mild, around one-third of women endure severe pain, with onset possible at any stage of pregnancy. This phenomenon stems from a complex interplay of mechanical, hormonal, circulatory, and psychosocial factors. Despite its prevalence and impact, effective management strategies remain elusive, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its etiology and implications for maternal health. This review synthesizes existing literature on pregnancy-related back pain, exploring its multifaceted nature and potential interventions to alleviate its burden on expectant and new mothers. </em></p>
