Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is a hands-on, drug-free approach to health that focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. When vertebrae are misaligned — a condition called a subluxation — they can irritate surrounding nerves and interfere with the body's ability to heal itself. Dr. Brett Chavez, D.C. at Back 2 Health Chiropractic in Lubbock, TX uses precise spinal adjustments to correct these misalignments, allowing your nervous system to function at its best.

Chiropractic is one of the most thoroughly researched forms of conservative healthcare. Millions of Americans choose chiropractic adjustments each year as their first line of defense against back pain, neck pain, headaches, and a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions.

A chiropractic adjustment involves applying a controlled, specific force to a joint that has restricted movement or is out of its optimal position. Dr. Chavez uses several adjustment techniques depending on your diagnosis, comfort level, and health history:

• Diversified Technique — The most common manual adjustment, delivering a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust to restore normal joint motion.
• Activator Method — A gentle, instrument-assisted technique ideal for patients who prefer a softer approach.
• Thompson Drop Technique — Uses a specialized table with drop pieces for effective, comfortable adjustments.
• Flexion-Distraction — A slow, rhythmic technique particularly useful for disc injuries and sciatica.

Each approach is chosen with your specific needs in mind. Dr. Chavez will perform a thorough examination — including a health history and, when appropriate, in-office X-rays — before recommending any care plan.
