Over 80% of people will experience low back pain, and half will experience neck pain at some time in their life. Our physical therapists are extensively trained and specialized in spine care.

Whether your back pain stems from a work or sports injury, we're the experts to get you back to life's playing field.
No, a doctor's referral isn't required to start physical therapy in Nebraska. Many patients come to us first to avoid unnecessary imaging or invasive procedures. If your pain doesn't improve or if something more is going on, we'll help you connect with the right specialist.
If pain is limiting your daily activities, work, or sleep — or if it's lingered more than a few days — it's worth getting evaluated. Since low back pain affects over 80% of people and neck pain affects half of us at some point, you're far from alone, and early treatment often prevents small issues from becoming bigger ones.
Not necessarily. Our conservative, evidence-based approach often helps you avoid costly imaging altogether. If your therapist determines imaging is needed based on your evaluation, they'll help guide you to the next step.
It depends on your diagnosis and goals, but treatment often includes a combination of hands-on techniques such as manual therapy and dry needling, along with spinal stabilization and functional strengthening exercises. Your therapist will build a plan specific to your condition, whether that's a herniated disc, whiplash, sciatica, or something else.
While we can't reverse degenerative changes, therapy can significantly reduce pain, improve mobility, and help you manage these conditions long-term — often reducing reliance on pain medication in the process.
Dry needling uses a thin filiform needle to target tight or irritated muscle tissue, and most patients tolerate it well. It's one of several tools your therapist may use, and whether it's a good fit depends on your specific condition and comfort level — something you can discuss at your evaluation.
Whether your neck or back pain stems from a workplace, auto, or sports injury, our therapists are experienced in treating these cases and can work with your workers' comp or auto insurance claim as needed.
