Abstract:

Around 30% of women in labour experience low back pain, a common challenge during childbirth. Sterile water injections (SWI) have proven effective in managing this pain, as shown in existing studies. Learn more about the evidence available to support sterile water injections as a simple and effective method for managing low-back pain during labour, how to implement them in the clinical setting in a culturally sensitive way and the potential benefits of this method around the globe due to its simplicity and effectiveness.
