Hi Dave - I am near Austin 
I had a muscle after my car accident in my lower left shoulder blade that was completely knotted up - my chiropractor who practices the gonstead method (gentle chiropractic) was able to work it out. She also recommended Biofreeze which is an amazing gel that really pentrates deep into the muscles for relief. Now I find lots of muscles compensating for the ones around L5/S1 and I use it on those and it works wonders. I also use a moist heating pad rather than a regular one if I do. Of course if you have any swelling in the area you only want to use ice I have been told - you might want to check her out - she is in San Marcos, which isn't far from you...her husband is in practice with her and he is great too! Good luck with getting comfort!
prayers your way!
blessings!
Laura
