Dr. Brett Chavez, D.C. has helped hundreds of Lubbock residents find lasting relief from back pain through evidence-based chiropractic care, soft tissue therapies, and personalized rehabilitation programs.

What Causes Back Pain?

Back pain can originate from a wide variety of structures in the spine and surrounding soft tissue. Common causes include:

• Vertebral subluxations — misaligned spinal joints that create nerve irritation and muscle tension
• Disc injuries — herniated, bulging, or degenerative discs that compress spinal nerves
• Muscle strains and ligament sprains — often from lifting, twisting, or sudden movement
• Facet joint dysfunction — irritation or locking of the small joints between vertebrae
• Poor posture — chronic sitting and forward head posture that strains spinal structures over time
• Scoliosis — abnormal lateral curvature of the spine
• Sciatica — nerve compression in the lower back causing radiating pain into the buttocks and legs

Identifying the exact source of your pain is critical for effective treatment. At Back 2 Health Chiropractic, every patient receives a thorough evaluation — including orthopedic and neurological testing and in-office X-rays when indicated — before any treatment begins.

How Chiropractic Care Relieves Back Pain

Chiropractic care is one of the most extensively researched conservative treatments for back pain. Multiple systematic reviews and clinical guidelines — including those from the American College of Physicians — recommend chiropractic care as a first-line treatment for non-specific low back pain.

Chiropractic adjustments restore normal motion and alignment to the vertebral joints of the spine. This reduces nerve irritation, relaxes surrounding muscles, restores normal movement, and allows the body’s natural healing processes to work efficiently. Most patients with acute back pain experience significant improvement within a few visits.

For chronic back pain or disc-related conditions, spinal decompression therapy may be incorporated into the treatment plan to address compressed discs and nerves.

Our Multi-Modal Approach to Back Pain

Dr. Chavez takes a comprehensive approach to back pain treatment that may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments — the cornerstone of spinal care
• Spinal decompression — for disc-related back pain and nerve compression
• Massage therapy — to release muscle tension and improve circulation
• Dry needling — to address trigger points contributing to pain
• Professional stretching — to restore flexibility and prevent reinjury
• Fire cupping and Gua Sha — advanced soft tissue techniques for stubborn pain

When to See a Chiropractor for Back Pain

You should seek care promptly if your back pain:

• Has lasted more than a few days without improvement
• Is accompanied by pain, numbness, or tingling radiating into the legs or feet
• Occurred after a fall, accident, or heavy lifting
• Is interfering with sleep, work, or daily activities
• Has not responded to over-the-counter pain medications or rest

Do not wait for back pain to become unbearable. Early chiropractic intervention typically leads to faster recovery and a lower risk of the problem becoming chronic.

Back Pain Prevention

After resolving your acute pain, Dr. Chavez will provide guidance on preventing future episodes, including:

• Ergonomic recommendations for work and sleep positions
• Core strengthening and postural exercises
• Proper body mechanics for lifting and daily activities
• Flexible scheduling for periodic maintenance chiropractic care
