Have questions about working with Low Back Clinic? Below you’ll find answers about our 3-hour initial evaluation, spine-focused physical therapy approach, follow-up model, insurance, and service areas around Cedar Park, Georgetown, Leander, Liberty Hill, Round Rock, and North Austin.
How is Low Back Clinic different from traditional physical therapy?
Most physical therapy clinics schedule patients for frequent visits over several weeks or months. At Low Back Clinic, we start with a comprehensive 3-hour one-on-one session to better understand what may be driving your pain and create a detailed, personalized recovery plan. This approach helps you make meaningful progress and achieve your goals without relying on weekly appointments. Follow-up visits are scheduled only as needed, typically in 4–6 weeks.
What happens during the 3-hour initial session?
During your initial session, we take a detailed history of your symptoms, aggravating factors, daily activities, and previous treatments. We then perform a comprehensive spine-focused assessment based on McGill Method principles to better understand which movements, positions, and loads are linked to your pain.
From there, we build a personalized recovery plan that may include pain-relieving strategies, movement modifications, spine-sparing techniques, walking guidance, and a customized exercise program.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of why your pain may be occurring, what to avoid for now, what to do instead, and how to begin moving forward.
What is included in the recovery plan?
Your recovery plan is tailored to your condition, goals, and the patterns identified during your evaluation. Depending on your needs, it may include spine-sparing movement strategies, activity modifications, pain-relieving techniques, walking guidance, personalized exercises, and safe progression back to work, exercise, sports, and daily life.
The goal is to give you a clear, practical roadmap so you know what to avoid for now, what to do instead, and how to make progress without relying on frequent treatment visits.
How many visits will I need?
Every person and condition is different. Most follow-ups occur approximately 4–6 weeks after the initial assessment.
Our goal is not to keep you coming in for frequent treatment sessions, but to give you the tools to manage your condition independently.
What if I have questions after the initial evaluation?
Our support continues after your initial evaluation. We provide ongoing guidance as you work through your recovery plan, and you can reach out with questions at any time.
Support is available through multiple channels, including written communication, phone calls, and video check-ins when needed. This allows us to clarify your plan, adjust recommendations, and help you navigate any challenges that come up as you apply the strategies in daily life.
Our goal is to make sure you feel confident and supported throughout your recovery, not just during the in-person session.
I’ve had back pain for years. Can you still help?
Many of our clients have been dealing with back pain for months or even years before finding us. In many cases, they have already tried traditional physical therapy, chiropractic care, injections, medications, or other treatments without achieving lasting relief.
Chronic pain does not necessarily mean permanent damage. Using the McGill Method, we work to identify the specific movements, postures, and loading patterns that continue to trigger your symptoms and prevent recovery. By addressing these patterns and developing a personalized spine-sparing strategy, many clients are able to reduce pain, improve function, and return to activities they thought they had to give up.
Every situation is unique, but our goal is to help you better understand your pain, regain confidence in your movement, and develop a clear plan for moving forward.
What if I’m not sure whether your approach is right for me?
We offer a complimentary 20-minute video consultation where we can discuss your situation, answer your questions, and help determine whether our approach is a good fit for your needs.
How do I get started?
The first step is scheduling a complimentary 20-minute video consultation. If we’re a good fit, we’ll help you schedule your comprehensive initial evaluation and begin building your personalized recovery plan.
Do I need a referral?
In most cases, no referral is needed to begin physical therapy in Texas. If your situation requires physician involvement or collaboration with another healthcare provider, we’ll discuss the best next steps with you.
Do you accept insurance?
We are a cash-based clinic and do not bill insurance directly. This allows us to provide individualized care based on your needs, rather than the limitations, restrictions, and visit requirements often associated with insurance-based physical therapy.
What areas do you serve?
We most commonly serve Cedar Park, Georgetown, Leander, Liberty Hill, Round Rock, and North Austin. We also work with people from surrounding communities and beyond.
If you’re located outside our primary service area, please reach out. We’d be happy to discuss your situation and determine whether our services may be a good fit.
