Low back pain · Farmers Branch & North Dallas
# Physical therapy for low back pain
Maybe you're scared to bend over because the last time you did, your back went out. Maybe it's a constant, annoying ache you've learned to work around. Or maybe it's sharp, searing pain that shows up without warning.
You've probably been told to rest, stretch and strengthen your core, and it keeps coming back anyway. Your back isn't weak or broken. It's been doing too much of the work for too long.

What we treat
## Low back problems we treat
However your back pain shows up, the goal is the same: find what's overloading it and give the rest of your body its share of the work.
1
### Back pain that keeps going out
Flare-ups every few months from bending, lifting, sneezing, or sometimes nothing at all.
2
### Fear of bending and lifting
You don't trust your back anymore, so you've stopped deadlifting, stopped picking things up off the floor, and move carefully all day.
3
### Constant stiffness and achiness
The low-grade tightness that limits how hard you train and how long you can sit, stand or drive.
4
### Disc bulges and herniations
Whether you've had an MRI that showed one or you've just been told “it's probably a disc.”
5
### Sciatica and nerve pain
Sharp, burning or electric pain into the buttock or down the leg that's unpredictable and sometimes stops you in your tracks.

The real reason
## Why your back keeps getting hurt
Your back is usually the hardest worker in your body. When the rest of your body isn't pulling its weight, the low back picks up the slack. Over time it becomes a tired worker: always on, never getting a break, and the first thing to complain.
1
### Your legs aren't driving
When your legs don't produce enough strength and drive, your back does the lifting.
2
### Your center of mass isn't controlled
Poor control as you move side to side, forward and back, and in rotation puts the load on your spine.
3
### You only have one way of moving
Your body has grooved one strategy. It's not a hardware problem. It's a software problem, and the back is paying for it.
Sound familiar?
## Why rest, stretching and core work haven't fixed it
Most low back rehab is built on avoidance. Your back needs to be convinced it's safe to move, and the rest of your body needs to learn to share the load.
✕
### Built on avoidance
Don't bend, don't lift, brace your core, rest when it flares. The fear and the stiffness grow.
✕
### The same handout for everyone
Bridges, clamshells and monster walks, never progressed to match what your life actually asks of you.
✕
### Calming it, not building it
Massage, heat and adjustments can calm a flare. They don't build capacity, so it comes back.
Your evaluation
## What happens in a low back evaluation
1
### How you move
We look at how you bend, squat, hinge, rotate and shift your weight.
2
### What's overloading your back
We see how your hips, legs and mid back contribute to each movement. Nothing is good or bad. They're strategies, and we find the ones that overload your back.
3
### Your plan
You leave understanding why your back hurts, what's driving it, and a clear plan to build it back up.
Real results
## What this looks like in real life
### Picking up his daughter again
A man came in with back pain so debilitating he couldn't pick up his 2-year-old daughter. We got him back to full health and function.
### Sciatica that kept coming back
Another man had dealt with recurring sciatica for years. We got rid of his mobility restrictions, and his symptoms went from limiting to barely noticeable.
### An honest note
Not everyone gets a perfect, pain-free fix, and anyone who promises you that isn't being straight with you. What you can get back is your life, and you'll understand how your body works so you know how to keep it that way.
Reviews
## What patients say
5.0 ★★★★★ from 90+ Google reviews
“I went to Nevin having fallen into a cycle over recent years of tweaking my back randomly 2-3 times per year despite being what I felt was in very good physical shape… I am grateful to say that I haven't had a major back tweak since.”
**Brad B.**
Back that kept going out
“My first appointment I could barely move. He analyzed where I needed to focus and customized a plan specifically for me. The next week, I was feeling 70% better… I can now lift my daughter without any aches and pains and I'm back in the gym regularly!”
**Christopher W.**
Low back pain
“I have had negative experiences in other physical therapy clinics and felt that I couldn't find good treatment for my back pain and spasms that I've dealt with for 8 years… He also urged me to ease back into everyday activities, something I was reluctant to do on my own because of mental fear.”
**Alisha J.**
8 years of back pain and spasms

FAQ
## Frequently asked questions
### Should I avoid bending and lifting?
No. Avoiding movement usually makes the fear and the stiffness worse. We start with what your back tolerates and build from there, so bending and lifting feel normal again.
### Can I deadlift again?
If deadlifting is one of your goals, for most people, yes. We work back to it with the right progression, so your hips and legs do the work instead of your back.
### Can physical therapy help a herniated disc?
In most cases, yes. Disc bulges and herniations show up on MRIs even in people with no pain, and most improve without surgery. If your evaluation suggests you need a surgeon, I'll tell you.
### Why does my back keep going out?
Usually because it's still doing the job your hips and legs should be doing. Until that changes, it stays close to its limit and small things tip it over.
### Can physical therapy help sciatica?
Often, yes. Most sciatica comes from an irritated nerve, not a damaged one. We calm it down, give it room to move, and build your tolerance back up. One exception: if you have leg weakness that's getting worse, numbness in the groin or saddle area, or changes in bladder or bowel control, see a physician right away before starting physical therapy.
### Do I need an MRI first?
No. Most people don't need imaging to start. If anything in your evaluation suggests you do, I'll tell you.
### Do you take insurance?
No. Revenant is cash-based and out-of-network, so every session is 60 minutes, one-on-one. Superbills are available on request.
