Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Osteopractor?
An Osteopractor is a Physical Therapist, Medical Doctor, or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine who has completed an evidence-based post graduate training program in the use of spinal and extremity thrust manipulation, ultrasound-guided dry needling, instrument-assisted manual therapies, and differential diagnostics for the diagnosis and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. In short, Osteopractors are specialists in the neuromusculoskeletal system. If you had a skin issue you would go to a specialist - a Dermatologist. If you have neck pain, back pain, headaches, tennis elbow, heel pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee osteoarthritis, shoulder impingement or joint pain etc., it makes sense to look for a specialist - an Osteopractor.
Do I need a referral?
The Texas Physical Therapy State practice act allows you to be treated by our clinic for 10 calendar days before needing a referral from a medical provider. You may be seen before that deadline. After it, you may email your referral or bring it in person. Assistance with obtaining a referral can be provided, please inquire. Wellness clients do not need a referral.
What are the rates of your services?
We offer per service, package and membership options. Please see the pricing tab.
Do you take insurance?
No. Austin Osteopractic and Wellness Clinic is a cash-pay, out of network clinic. We do not accept insurance. This is so we are able to work with you one-on-one, provide the highest quality of care without limitations, and not have treatment frequency dictated by insurance companies.
We will provide you with receipts for each session. If you have an out-of-network PT coverage insurance plan you may be eligible for partial reimbursements if you submit your receipt to your insurance company. Inquire with your provider to explore your options.
