Back Pain Physical Therapy in Shawnee, KS

Your Back Can Fix Itself.
We Show It How.

In our 60-minute Back Performance Evaluation & Treatment, you’ll leave with answers, hands-on treatment, and a real plan to fix your back pain.

This Is For You If…

  • Your back pain keeps coming back every time you think you’ve got it under control.
  • Deadlifts, squats, or even picking up your kids can tweak your back.
  • You’ve been told to “rest” or “take it easy” but that’s not a real solution for you.
  • Sitting for long periods, bending over, or getting out of bed in the morning makes your back hurt.
  • Pain, tingling, or numbness travels into your glute or down your leg.
  • You don’t want this to turn into something that requires surgery or injections.

What’s Included in Your Back Performance Evaluation & Treatment.

This isn’t a generic PT appointment. At our Shawnee clinic, you’ll get a thorough back assessment, hands-on treatment, and a clear plan forward – all focused on fixing the root cause of your back pain, not just managing it.

  • Strength and Mobility Testing
    We test the specific strength and mobility patterns that contribute to back pain – so we know what your body can handle today and what needs to be built up.
  • Functional Movement Assessment
    We watch how you move – squat, hinge, lunge, and other loading strategies – to connect the dots between your movement and your symptoms.
  • Hands-On Treatment
    Depending on what we find, treatment may include dry needling, cupping, or joint and soft tissue work targeted at what’s actually driving your symptoms.
  • Your Personalized Plan
    We put everything together into a clear, actionable plan specific to your body and your goals. No generic advice. No cookie-cutter exercises. A real path forward starting from day one.

Common Back Pain Conditions We Treat.

Back pain shows up differently for everyone. Whether you’ve been given a diagnosis or just know something isn’t right – we can help. Here are some of the most common conditions we see at our Shawnee clinic.

General Back Pain & Stiffness

Whether it came on suddenly or has been building for years, most back pain isn’t a sign of serious damage – it’s a sign your back needs more strength and movement, not less. We find what’s driving it and build a plan to fix it for good.

Sciatica & Nerve Pain

That shooting, burning, or tingling pain running down your leg isn’t something you just have to live with. Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis, and finding the source is the first step toward actually resolving it.

Herniated or Bulging Discs

A disc diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but most people with herniated or bulging discs don’t need surgery, and many disc herniations shrink over time. The right plan helps you move with less pain while your body does what it’s designed to do.

SI Joint Dysfunction

Pain at the base of your spine, into your glutes, or on one side of your low back. Often worse with standing on one leg, climbing stairs, or rolling over in bed. We assess the full picture, including your hips and pelvis, and build the strength and control to settle it down.

Muscle Strains & Sprains

Whether you pushed too hard in a training session or tweaked your back doing something as simple as picking something up – strains and sprains that don’t resolve on their own need real attention, not just rest.

Back Pain From Lifting or Training

Deadlifts, squats, or rows leaving your back sore, tight, or tweaked? It usually comes down to a back and hips that haven’t built the strength or mobility to handle the load yet. We find the gap and build it up so you can train hard without your back paying the price.

What People in Our Community Are Saying

Real results from motivated people across Shawnee, Lenexa, Olathe, De Soto, and surrounding areas who refused to “just live” with pain.

Thanks to Amanda’s expertise I am literally back to climbing mountains in Norway. Completing this after a hip replacement in April 2026 did not happen without a lot of hard work. We are very lucky to have such expertise in our little neck of the woods!

Amanda was fantastic to work with. She connected really well with my teen, and was incredibly flexible with both of us. She was quick to respond with questions and cannot recommend her highly enough!

I hurt my lower back golfing and set up an appointment to help with the pain. After doing the evaluation and doing the exercises they suggested I am doing much better and the pain is gone. I am back to playing golf with no pain. Highly recommend Levi and Amanda.

During the last tournament of my daughters volleyball season, she was experiencing significant heel pain. We initially thought it was Sever's disease and were treating it accordingly, but despite our efforts, she wasn't improving. With volleyball tryouts and closed gym season quickly approaching, we were concerned that the pain would prevent her from performing at her best. A friend recommended Amanda, and I am incredibly grateful they did. Amanda quickly identified that Olivia's pain was actually being caused by a combination of extremely flat feet, something we had no idea she had, and tight calf muscles resulting from a rapid growth spurt. Her thorough evaluation gave us answers we had been searching for and, more importantly, a clear path forward. Amanda got to work right away, and Olivia noticed improvement even after her first session. The app Amanda provided for daily stretches was easy to use, convenient, and helped keep us consistent with reminders and exercises at home. What impressed me most was Amanda's personalized approach. She took the time to connect with Olivia, explain what was happening, and make her feel comfortable throughout the process. Olivia genuinely enjoyed her appointments, and so did I. Amanda has a way of making you feel like you're talking with a trusted friend while still providing exceptional professional care. Thanks to Amanda, Olivia is feeling so much better and is ready to get back to doing what she loves. I cannot recommend her highly enough to any parent whose child is dealing with pain or mobility issues.

We are so thankful for the care we have received at TrueFix. Dr. Cain has helped my daughter through concussion protocol and sports injury to get her back on the soccer field. Dr. Cain is knowledgeable, friendly, and we have enjoyed her care. Highly recommend!

Amanda worked with me on my shoulders for three months recently, and I was able to get rid of the pain and sleep better and also strengthen my shoulders. I have continued to do my exercises at home with the True Coach app to maintain my strength. Very happy with my experience and the help I got from Amanda.

Amanda is an awesome physical therapist! She knew instinctively what was happening with my shoulder injury, and confirmed it with diagnostic testing. I saw immediate improvement, but she stuck with it and got my shoulder to fully functional. She utilized multiple techniques, and made me feel comfortable, cared for, and validated throughout the entire process. My only regret is not going to see her sooner.
