If you’re pregnant and dealing with back pain in Mesa or Queen Creek, you’re not alone.
Many women experience pregnancy-related back pain as the baby grows, the pelvis shifts, and hormones begin to loosen ligaments.
The good news?
There are things you can do right now to feel better.
And if you’ve already tried some of these without much relief, that’s where Myopractic therapy can make a real difference.
Let’s walk through a few practical, at-home strategies to relieve back pain during pregnancy.
As your belly grows, your center of gravity shifts forward.
It’s natural to lean back to compensate—but that puts extra strain on your lower back.
Try this instead:
High heels? Not your friend right now. (or ever for that matter, but especially when your pregnant)
Instead, go for low-heeled shoes with good arch support—athletic shoes are often a great choice.
You might also try a maternity support belt to reduce pressure on your lower back.
Avoid bending at the waist.
Instead, squat down and lift with your legs, keeping the object close to your body.
And when in doubt—ask for help.
As you may already know, many doctors advise against sleeping on your back later in pregnancy, since it can affect circulation for you and your baby.
So avoid sleeping on your back
Instead try sleeping on your side with one or both knees bent.
A pillow between your knees—or a full-body pregnancy pillow—can ease tension in your hips and low back.
Some women find relief with heat, others with cold.
Try a wrapped heating pad or ice pack on your lower back for 15–20 minutes.
Always use a towel or cloth barrier to protect your skin.

Movement helps.
Walking, prenatal yoga, or swimming are all great options—just check with your provider first.
Gentle stretching for your hips and lower back can also make a big difference.
If you’ve already tried some of the tips above and still feel stuck, you’re not alone.
Many of my clients come in after trying things like chiropractic, massage, or physical therapy—and are relieved to find that myopractic therapy actually helps them move and feel better.
So what is it?
Myopractic therapy is a gentle, full-body approach that focuses on improving mobility—starting in the pelvis, which is the foundation of movement and alignment.
This makes it especially helpful for pregnancy-related back pain, when the pelvis and surrounding structures are under extra stress.
As a Myopractor in Mesa and Queen Creek, I work with pregnant women who are dealing with:
Here’s how we typically approach care:
Every body is different.
Some women want to come in just a few times to get relief.
Others want ongoing support throughout pregnancy.
Either way, Myopractic therapy is tailored to your needs and goals.
Unlike some other treatments, Myopractic therapy doesn’t just focus on the area that hurts.
We look at the whole body—because pain in your back might actually be coming from your hips, ribs, or even your legs.
The techniques are hands-on, but not aggressive.
There’s no intense popping or cracking.
Instead, we use soft tissue work and joint mobilization to help your body move better—and when your body moves better, self-care starts to work better too.
Back pain during pregnancy is common—but it’s not something you have to just live with.
If you’re in Mesa or Queen Creek and dealing with pregnancy-related back pain, there are safe, effective ways to feel better:
Each session includes a full-body evaluation and treatment, tailored to your stage of pregnancy.
You’ll leave feeling more aligned, more mobile, and more supported.
