Low back pain treatment in Austin for active adults
For people who've tried rest, stretching or adjustments and still feel it flare up. We find why it keeps coming back.
Low back pain that keeps coming back usually isn't a "bad back." It's a capacity problem: the load you put through your back is outpacing what it's ready to handle. We find what's driving it with a full movement assessment, then combine hands-on care with progressive strength training, so you can stay active while it gets better and the flare-ups stop.

Why it keeps flaring up
Most people with recurring back pain have already tried rest, stretching, massage or adjustments. Those can calm things down, but they don't change how your back handles load.
Major clinical guidelines now recommend active, exercise-based care as a first-line treatment for low back pain. Passive treatment alone isn't enough. That's why every plan here includes a strength progression built around what you want to get back to.
A plan with an end point
Relief
Calm the irritation with hands-on care, dry needling, focused shockwave or adjustments (only if you want them), and keep you moving.
Measure
Assess how you move with Kinetisense 3D motion capture and check mobility and strength side to side, so we know what's limiting you.
Restore
Load the areas that need it with a progressive strength plan that fits your schedule and your training.
Resilience
Build back to everything you love (lifting, running, golf, picking up your kids) with a plan built to help your back hold up.

Common questions
Do I need an MRI first?+
Usually not. Most low back pain doesn't need imaging to start. If we see red flags, we'll refer you.
Can I keep working out?+
In most cases, yes. We modify what flares it and keep the rest. We don't bench you.
How long does it take?+
It depends on how long you've had it and what you want to get back to. You'll get a clear timeline at your Root Cause Assessment.
Do I have to get adjusted?+
No. Adjustments are one tool among many and never required.
