The number of women delivering babies via cesarean section has nearly doubled worldwide since 2000 to almost 21%, and is set to continue increasing over the coming decade, with nearly a third (29%) of all births likely to take place by caesarean section by 2030, up significantly from the 10% considered medically necessary.
Part of the reason is greater availability to health facilities.
Worryingly, the stats also showed if women are wealthier or more educated they were also more likely to opt for a Caesarian even where there was LOW obstetric risk.
I find it so sad the vast majority of these procedures could be avoided if the mothers were prepped properly, truly educated about the benefits and risks (longer term as well as just for the procedure itself) and trained specifically for the delivery.
In clinic women often present with a variety of aches and pains, not just from where crucial structures have been severed and stuck back together.
Core stability is incredibly important in reducing the lower back, hip and neck pain commonly experienced after a Caesarian. Unravelling the neurological dysfunctions and restoring you to health is what we do in clinic.
