Acupuncture can help pregnant women in crippling pain to go about their daily lives, according to a new study.

Up to one in five mothers-to-be suffer pelvic girdle pain (PGP) during their pregnancy, which can leave them struggling to do simple tasks.

The condition, which can be made worse by standing, sitting or even turning in bed, can be constant or involve a stabbing sensation or shooting pains down the back of the leg.

Around seven per cent of women struggle with the pain even after they give birth, leading many to take time off work.
