Well, she is pregnant with a heavy load that shifts her balance to a forward position. Back pain is common during pregnancy and studies are seldom performed since pregnancy alters the normal body physiology. Physical therapy is frequently indicated during pregnancy. Tests are performed if pain persist after 6-12 weeks post partum or more according to the clinical findings. I would not perform nerve conduction studies since I believe that will be a waste of time and money with no clear benefits
