Low back pain is a frequent clinical condition in pregnancy. Drugs treatments are limited. Other therapies are often used, associated or not with drugs (acupuncture, manipulative medicine, physical therapies, homeopathy). Clinical studies suggest a reduction of low back pain with these therapies. The primary objective of this study is to determinate how many pregnant women use these alternative therapeutics. In a second time, we want evaluate efficiency of these therapeutics, especially in pain modification and on quality of life. Our study is a declarative study on pregnant women in Lorraine.
