You know, at Back Country Chiropractic, we’ve built something a bit different here in Lakewood. Our wellness center brings together things like chiropractic care, gentle spinal decompression, and focused massage therapy all under one roof. That way, you get all the coordinated, whole-body care you need, and you won’t have to bounce around between different places all over town. It just makes things easier.
As a chiropractic clinic in Lakewood since 1989, our aim is to give you a real plan — not just a quick fix. After all those years, we’ve really learned that healing is rarely a one-size-fits-all deal. We see folks coming in with all sorts of issues. Some need help with nagging pain, others are keen to get back on the trails around Green Mountain, and yes, some are even looking into things like our advanced body contouring options. It’s a real mix, but the common thread is always feeling better in your own skin. By offering these diverse services in one spot, we figure it makes sense to handle it all right here for you. We just think it gets better results.

Most people come to a chiropractor because something hurts. That makes sense. But the patients who get the most out of chiropractic care are often the ones who keep coming back after the pain is gone. Wellness chiropractic care is about maintaining what you’ve built — keeping your spine moving well, catching small misalignments before they become problems, and supporting your body’s ability to function at a high level over time.
For active adults in Jefferson County and the greater Lakewood community, this kind of ongoing spinal maintenance fits naturally into an already health-conscious lifestyle. You get regular tune-ups on your car. You see a dentist twice a year. Your spine carries you through every hike, every workout, every long day at a desk — and it responds well to consistent attention. Many patients who started coming in for acute pain have transitioned to monthly or quarterly visits because they noticed the difference in how they felt and moved between appointments.
Wellness chiropractic is also appropriate for all ages. We see patients in their twenties who want to stay ahead of postural problems from desk work, and patients in their sixties who want to maintain mobility and independence. The approach adjusts to where you are. The goal stays the same — a spine that moves freely, a nervous system that isn’t under constant pressure, and a body that can keep up with your life in Lakewood.
If you’re one of the many Lakewood residents who starts each morning with a stiff neck, a tight lower back, or a dull headache that just won’t quit, you are definitely not alone — we see this all the time. Chiropractic care is one of the most requested services at our wellness center, and there’s a good reason for that.
It gets right to the root cause of muscle and joint discomfort, instead of just covering up symptoms with pills. Whether your pain came on slowly from sitting too much, or it popped up fast after a busy weekend (maybe all that gardening and yard work around your home near O’Kane Park), a good chiropractor can check your spine and build a plan for you. Our goal is always to get you moving better, cut down on inflammation, and help your body heal naturally. We like natural solutions here.
Many of our chiropractic patients live in places like the Belmar and Estes Street neighborhoods. They often tell us a remarkably similar story — they’re spending eight or more hours a day glued to a desk, usually hunched over a keyboard, then they face that 30 to 45-minute slog into Denver on I-70 or US-6. Those congested stretches of highway really add to the stress. That mix of sitting for so long and then dealing with stop-and-go traffic creates a perfect storm. Prolonged sitting compresses the discs in your spine, tightens up muscles something fierce, and throws your whole back out of balance. Over time, all these daily pressures really add up, causing constant back pain, headaches that keep coming back, and less movement. That can truly mess with your quality of life.
On your first visit, we always do a thorough checkup. This means we go over your health history, look at your posture, and then do a hands-on exam of your spine and all the muscles around it. Based on what we find, our chiropractors will make specific adjustments to those vertebrae that are out of line. An adjustment is just a controlled, precise push on a joint. Yeah, it can make an audible “pop” sound, which might seem dramatic, but most people say it feels more like relief than pain. Many of our Lakewood patients tell us they feel less tension and can move better after just that first session. It’s pretty gratifying to see.
What makes chiropractic care particularly effective — and we’ve seen this for decades — is how it focuses on fixing things for the long haul, not just a quick fix. Your treatment plan might include a series of adjustments over several weeks. We often add in tips for your workstation (like maybe raising your monitor, which makes a real difference), stretches you can do during breaks, and exercises to strengthen your core. These things support your spine between visits. For the office workers in Lakewood, making small changes like adjusting your monitor or taking a few micro-breaks every 20 to 30 minutes can seriously extend how good you feel after each session. It’s about small habits creating big changes.
Chiropractic care also works really well with our other wellness services. A lot of our patients pair their adjustments with massage therapy. This helps with soft tissue tension. Some also work with our team on corrective exercises. This integrated approach — bringing different types of care together — is a huge help for adults dealing with chronic issues. We see things like sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or those repetitive strain injuries that are so common among Lakewood’s working pros. They are no fun, but we can help.
If daily discomfort has become just "how it is" for you, it absolutely doesn't have to stay that way. See how chiropractic care relieves back and joint pain and what to expect on your first visit. Taking that first step toward lasting relief really can make all the difference.
Listen, disc problems don’t always mean you need surgery. We’ve helped so many people avoid it. Spinal decompression gently stretches your spine, and that creates space for bulging or herniated discs to finally start healing. The process is slow and controlled. No cracking, no twisting, no bracing for impact. Most patients near Green Mountain tell us they feel relief within a few visits, which really surprises folks who’ve been dealing with disc pain for months, or even years.
Here’s how we do it. You lie comfortably on a special motorized table. This table applies a gentle, on-and-off pulling force to either your lower back or your neck, wherever the problem is. That negative pressure actually pulls the disc back in. It takes pressure off those pinched nerves, and it lets nutrient-rich fluid flow back into the disc tissue. Sessions usually run about 20 to 30 minutes and most patients find them very relaxing. Many even fall asleep right there on the table. It’s that comfortable.
We’ve been using spinal decompression here in Lakewood for years. We help patients who truly thought surgery was their only way out. Who does this work best for? People with herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, or facet syndrome often respond very well. If your imaging has shown disc trouble, and you’ve tried other care without getting lasting results, decompression is absolutely worth a serious look. Our team will go over your history and imaging with you to figure out if you’re a good fit. We’re always straightforward. If another approach makes more sense, we’ll tell you.
If your imaging has pointed to disc trouble and nothing else has stuck, see how spinal decompression therapy works for disc pain before committing to anything more invasive. It could be the step that changes everything.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by delivering pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which allows your lungs to take in far more oxygen than normal breathing allows. That oxygen-rich blood then reaches tissues that are inflamed, damaged, or slow to heal — including areas around injured discs, joints, and muscles. For patients already working through spinal decompression or chiropractic care, hyperbaric sessions can accelerate what the structural work starts.
The mechanism is straightforward. At increased atmospheric pressure, oxygen dissolves directly into blood plasma rather than just binding to red blood cells. This gets oxygen into areas where circulation is restricted — scar tissue, chronically inflamed joints, nerve-compressed zones. The result is faster cellular repair, a measurable reduction in systemic inflammation, and better recovery between treatment sessions. Patients dealing with persistent injuries, post-surgical recovery, or chronic conditions that haven’t responded to standard care often find this is the missing piece.
Sessions at our Lakewood, CO clinic run in a comfortable chamber. Most patients read, relax, or simply rest during treatment. A typical course of care involves multiple sessions over several weeks depending on your condition and goals. We serve patients from Green Mountain, across Jefferson County, and throughout the Lakewood area. If you have been doing everything right with your recovery and still feel like your body is lagging behind, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is worth a serious conversation.
Whether you’re trying to bounce back from a sports injury, dealing with nonstop muscle tension, or just need real stress relief, massage therapy here in Lakewood offers a therapeutic approach. It goes way beyond a typical spa experience. Our licensed massage therapists really focus on clinical-grade techniques. These are designed to get at the actual causes of your pain, restricted movement, and any soft tissue issues you’ve got. Every single session is custom-built for you. Your specific condition, your goals, your comfort — we take it all into account. This means you get targeted care and you see measurable results. That’s what matters most to us.
During your session, our therapists work directly on your soft tissue. The goal is to cut down inflammation, break up adhesions (those sticky spots), and get the blood flowing better in all the affected areas. More blood flow means more essential nutrients and oxygen get to those damaged muscles and connective tissues. This speeds up your body’s natural healing process. For patients dealing with things like sciatica, a frozen shoulder, constant tension headaches, or even stiffness after surgery, this soft tissue work can be a critical part of getting better. Our therapists are skilled in all sorts of techniques, including deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and Swedish massage. They pick the best one for your unique needs.
One of the biggest perks of getting massage therapy at our Lakewood clinic is that you can pair it with chiropractic adjustments during the same visit. When you get a massage either before or after a chiropractic session, your muscles and tissues around them are more relaxed. They’re more open to those alignment corrections. This combined approach often means you recover faster. It makes adjustments last longer, and you see a much bigger drop in pain compared to just doing one treatment alone. Our care team works closely together. Your massage therapist and chiropractor are always on the same page about your treatment plan. This creates a smooth experience that makes the most of every minute you spend here with us.
Patients coming from the Union Square neighborhood and along the Alameda corridor really take advantage of this combined care model. They’ll often schedule both services back-to-back, all in one appointment. Our clinic is centrally located in Lakewood, too, so it’s easy to fit a visit into your lunch break or after work. You won’t have to fight traffic clear across the metro area. Many of our patients find that getting regular massage sessions — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — helps them stay ahead of chronic tension. It stops minor discomfort from turning into something bigger. That’s a huge win in our book.
Beyond fixing injuries and managing pain, massage therapy gives real benefits for just feeling good overall. Regular sessions have been shown to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and support immune function. For Lakewood residents dealing with the physical demands of an active Colorado life — think hiking, skiing, cycling, and everything in between — consistent massage therapy works. It’s both a tool for recovery and a way to prevent issues. Our therapists also give great advice on stretching, setting up your workspace better, and self-care tricks you can use between visits. That helps you keep your progress going.
If you've never tried clinical massage therapy, or you've been relying on just one kind of treatment for ongoing pain, explore the benefits of therapeutic massage therapy in Lakewood and how it fits into a broader care plan. Contact our Lakewood wellness center today to schedule your first session.
Your first visit includes a health history review, a posture check, and a hands-on spine exam. From there, we build a plan just for you. You won’t leave with a generic routine. Most people feel less tension after that first session. We want you to walk out knowing exactly what we found and what we’re going to do about it.
We’re right here in Lakewood, CO, and parking is easy. You won’t have to stress about finding a spot before your appointment. We see patients from neighborhoods like Belmar, Estes Street, and near Green Mountain. If you’re commuting from the Denver side on US-6 or I-70, we’re a straightforward stop on your way home.
We help with back pain, neck stiffness, headaches, sciatica, herniated discs, and repetitive strain injuries. We also see people who just want to feel better and move more freely. You don’t have to be in serious pain to come in. Many of our patients started with something small that kept getting worse, and they wish they’d come in sooner.
Yes, absolutely. We see a lot of people who hike or bike around Green Mountain and then come in with lower back pain or tight hips. Weekend activity after a week of desk work is a common setup for injury. Your body needs consistent care, not just attention after something goes wrong. We help you stay active without the setbacks.
No referral needed. You can call or book directly. We’ve been here since 1989, so we’ve made it easy for Lakewood neighbors to just walk in and get started. Whether your doctor suggested you come or you found us on your own, we’re ready to help. Just bring a list of your symptoms and any imaging you already have.
You can get chiropractic care, spinal decompression, and massage therapy all in one place here. That matters because your care stays coordinated. One provider knows what the other is doing. You’re not repeating your story at three different offices. For busy Lakewood residents, that saves real time and gets better results.
