How do I know if the McGill Method is right for me?
If you suffer from chronic back pain and/or sciatic symptoms or continue to have repeat acute attacks despite trying a multitude of therapies and treatments, the McGill Method is likely the best investment you'll ever make. Most therapies require costly ongoing, repeat visits to manage your symptoms rather than addressing the root cause. The McGill Method addresses the root cause of your back pain. It is a one-time investment to guide you on your journey to a pain-free life without the need to pay for ongoing therapy.
The McGill Method candidate wants to understand why they have back pain and/or sciatica and learn how to remove the cause of pain. Overcoming back pain takes discipline, consistency and patience. You will likely have to break old habits and form new ones. If you want to solve your back troubles and be in control of how your spine behaves and heals, the McGill Method is likely the best decision you'll ever make.
Is the McGill Method covered by insurance?
No, the McGill Method is not covered by insurance. There is currently no provision in the health care system to accommodate a 2 hour assessment to hone in on the precise causal mechanisms of back pain and develop a customized program to remove the cause and build resilience.
I already had an MRI and/or X-ray. Do I still need an Assessment?
Without the context of a detailed assessment, looking at imaging alone is of little use in guiding treatment and is often the reason for failed recovery.
Can I bring someone with me to the McGill Method Consult?
Absolutely. Feel free to bring a spouse, family member, your doctor, your trainer or someone you live with. You will be learning a great deal about your back injury and your pain triggers, and you will be coached on various techniques and exercises as part of your individualized rehabilitation program. An additional set of eyes and ears is helpful to some.
Is the McGill Method Guaranteed to work every time?
Unfortunately there are no guarantees when rehabilitating low back disorders. You should be wary of any clinician that tells you their treatment is guaranteed to work. What we can tell you is that we see patients who have failed to achieve any long term relief despite trying a myriad of treatments, yet they do very well with the McGill Method. You can read about this on the testimonials page.
What are the costs to keep working with you on my spine health?
Patients typically do not require additional appointments after their initial consult, however, some individuals request ongoing appointments to keep them accountable, for additional coaching guidance or for progressions depending on their goals.
Follow-Up Appointments (includes written program modifications/progressions): $225/hr.
