Pretty rare for a back massage to hinder pre existing back pain...or help much either. Massages deal with muscle tissue where as back pain is more bone and ligaments etc.
My chiro said massages are fine and may relieve a little bit of the tension...and help you relax which helps the pain too...but a massage won't fix the problem.
