Third Trimester Back Pain Relief in Solana Beach
That deep, low ache that showed up around week 28 and just will not leave? It is fixable. You do not have to count down the weeks in pain.
What Is Third Trimester Back Pain
By the third trimester, your body has gone through enormous change. Your center of gravity has shifted forward, your low back has compensated with a deeper curve, your hips and pelvis have widened, and your abdominal muscles have stretched to make room for baby.
All of that puts new and different load on your spine. The most common result is a deep, low back ache. Sometimes it shows up around the sacrum, sometimes in the upper back from carrying baby high, and sometimes it radiates down the legs.
This is not just "part of being pregnant." It is a sign your body is asking for support. Gentle prenatal chiropractic care addresses the actual cause: a spine and pelvis that need to be balanced for the new way your body is loading itself.

How We Treat Third Trimester Back Pain
We use Webster Technique adjustments to balance the pelvis and sacrum. We work the thoracic spine to relieve the upper back compensation. We release the round ligaments and the deep hip muscles that have been pulling unevenly. And we give you simple positioning strategies for sleep, sitting, and standing that take the load off your spine between visits.
Most patients feel substantial relief in the first one to three visits. Many come weekly through the final four to six weeks because the relief is so meaningful and they sleep so much better afterward.
Why Choose Us
Dr. Lisel is Webster certified. The pregnancy pillow system in our office supports your belly fully so you can lie face-down comfortably even at 38 weeks (something most chiropractors cannot offer). The work is gentle, specific, and safe for every stage of pregnancy.
