A brief history
The History of Chiropractic Care
The word Chiropracticis derived from the Greek words "cheir" (hand) and "praktos" (done) — meaning "done by hand." In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed the first chiropractic adjustment on Harvey Lillard, a partially deaf janitor, who later reported his hearing had improved. Palmer opened the first chiropractic school two years later and millions of people benefit from that discovery today. Learn more about chiropractic.
What kind of training does a chiropractor have?
Chiropractic doctors complete a minimum of four years at an accredited chiropractic college, typically preceded by an undergraduate degree in the basic sciences. Students log at least 4,200 hours with instructors and 1,000 hours of fully supervised clinical training - learning the diagnosis and adjustment techniques needed to restore your body to its natural, fully functioning state.
At Optimal Wellness & Chiropractic, our team is ready to meet with you, discuss your needs, and design a program that's right for you.
Loved by the Austin community
Don't just take our word for it. Hear from patients who found lasting relief with gentle, natural care from Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C..
Anyone who knows me, knows my favorite doctor is my chiropractor. I had a fantastic chiropractor in DC, so when I moved to Austin I was sure no one could compare. Dr. James Stubbs has filled the void and then some. He performs quality chiropractic care in addition to prescribing stretches and rehab for my weak areas which many chiropractors don't do.

Circle C, Austin
After a car accident left me with constant neck pain, Dr. Stubbs created a plan that actually worked. He always makes time, checks in on my progress, and genuinely cares. I'm finally back to living without pain.
Marcus T.
Austin, TX
I came in for chronic migraines I'd dealt with for years. The gentle, thorough approach here changed everything. I find Dr. Stubbs to be a caring, superior chiropractor whom I'd recommend to anyone.
