"I started seeing Dr. Chavez during my third trimester and it was the best decision I made for my pregnancy. The Webster Technique he uses completely transformed my comfort level in those final weeks. My back pain went from a 7/10 to basically nothing. He was so gentle and thoughtful throughout every visit. I'm now bringing my newborn in for pediatric adjustments and seeing amazing results there too."

Massage Therapy at Back 2 Health Chiropractic
At Back 2 Health Chiropractic in Lubbock, TX, massage therapy is an integral part of our holistic approach to pain relief and wellness. Dr. Brett Chavez, D.C. and our team incorporate therapeutic massage as a powerful complement to chiropractic adjustments, helping patients experience faster, longer-lasting relief from pain and muscle dysfunction.
Massage is far more than a luxury treatment. When administered therapeutically and in coordination with chiropractic care, massage addresses the soft tissue component of musculoskeletal pain — releasing tight muscles, improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and preparing the body to hold chiropractic corrections more effectively.
Types of Massage We Offer
We tailor every massage session to your specific condition and goals. The techniques used at Back 2 Health Chiropractic include:
Deep Tissue Massage
Targeting the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, deep tissue massage uses slow, firm strokes to break up scar tissue, release chronic muscle tension, and address postural problems. This technique is particularly effective for patients with long-standing back pain, neck stiffness, or repetitive strain injuries.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are tight, hyper-irritable knots within a muscle that can cause pain locally and refer pain to other areas of the body. Trigger point therapy applies sustained pressure directly to these knots to release them, providing immediate relief from localized and referred pain patterns.
Sports Massage
Designed for active individuals and athletes, sports massage focuses on the muscles and connective tissues most relevant to your sport or activity. It helps prepare muscles for performance, speeds recovery after training or competition, and reduces the risk of overuse injuries.
Relaxation / Swedish Massage
Using long, flowing strokes, kneading, and gentle circular movements, Swedish massage promotes full-body relaxation, reduces stress hormones, and improves overall circulation. It is an excellent option for patients dealing with stress-related tension and anxiety.
Myofascial Release
This gentle, sustained technique targets the fascia — the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. Restrictions in the fascia can cause widespread pain and movement limitations. Myofascial release restores tissue mobility and reduces pain throughout the body.
Conditions Massage Can Help
Massage therapy at Back 2 Health Chiropractic is used to treat and support recovery from:
- Back pain and muscle spasms
- Neck pain and tension headaches
- Shoulder pain and rotator cuff tightness
- Post-injury muscle guarding and scar tissue
- Sports injuries and overuse syndromes
- Stress, anxiety, and stress-related tension
- Fibromyalgia and chronic widespread muscle pain
- Plantar fasciitis and foot pain
Why Massage and Chiropractic Work Best Together
Chiropractic adjustments correct joint position and nerve function. Massage relaxes the muscles that attach to and support those joints. When tight muscles are not addressed, they can quickly pull spinal joints back out of alignment, undermining the benefits of your adjustment.
By combining massage with chiropractic care, we address both the joint and the surrounding soft tissue simultaneously — producing faster relief and more durable results. Many patients at Back 2 Health Chiropractic receive a massage immediately before or after their chiropractic adjustment for this reason.
Massage also pairs excellently with dry needling for stubborn muscle knots, fire cupping for deep tissue circulation, and professional stretching to maintain gains in flexibility and mobility.
What to Expect During Your Massage Session
Your comfort and communication are our top priorities. Before your session begins, your therapist will review your health history, ask about your pain areas and goals, and explain the techniques that will be used. You will be properly draped throughout the session for privacy and warmth.
Session lengths vary based on your needs — typically 30, 60, or 90 minutes. After your massage, you may feel relaxed and slightly drowsy. We recommend drinking plenty of water to flush metabolic waste released during treatment.

Common Questions
What conditions does a chiropractor treat?
Chiropractors treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and nervous system conditions. At Back 2 Health Chiropractic, Dr. Chavez commonly treats back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, herniated discs, shoulder pain, sports injuries, plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, scoliosis, TMJ disorder, and more. If you're unsure whether your condition is a good fit, call us at {{phone}} — we're happy to answer your questions before you book.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes — chiropractic care is one of the safest forms of healthcare available for musculoskeletal conditions. Serious adverse events are extremely rare. Dr. Chavez performs a thorough evaluation before any treatment begins, including a health history review and X-rays when indicated, to ensure the most appropriate and safe care approach for each individual patient. If your condition is better suited to another provider, Dr. Chavez will refer you honestly.
How many chiropractic visits will I need?
The number of visits depends entirely on your specific condition, its severity, and how your body responds to care. Acute conditions often respond quickly — sometimes within 3–6 visits. Chronic or complex conditions typically require a longer course of care. Dr. Chavez will provide a specific care plan recommendation after your initial evaluation and will update it based on your progress. You will never be pressured into more care than you genuinely need.
