Frequently asked questions
Can a chiropractor actually help with headaches?+
Yes - for mechanical headaches caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates Buda patients with orthopedic and neurological testing before treatment. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review supports spinal manipulation for acute pain. If your case isn't appropriate for chiropractic, we'll say so and refer you.
Do you treat headaches after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. Buda accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
How is your clinic different from other Metro chiropractors?+
One doctor who knows your history. Integrated rehab exercises. No prepaid visit packages. Honest reassessment every 4–6 visits. Buda patients choose us for quality over convenience - though we're about 20 minutes away.
Do you offer same-day appointments near Buda?+
Same-day availability is standard on Mon/Wed/Thu. Call (512) 358-0325 early - about 20 minutes from Buda.
Can a chiropractor actually help with back pain?+
Yes, for mechanical low back pain caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or disc pressure. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review found spinal manipulation reduces pain and improves function. Dr. Stubbs evaluates every patient with orthopedic and neurological testing before treatment - and tells you honestly if chiropractic isn't the right fit.
Can I go to a chiropractor if I have osteopenia?+
Yes, with modified techniques. People with osteopenia can safely receive chiropractic care when the chiropractor uses low-force methods instead of high-velocity adjustments. Dr. Stubbs reviews your health history and uses gentler approaches for patients with reduced bone density - common among Austin adults 50+.
Can a chiropractor help with cortisol levels?+
Chiropractic may indirectly support stress response by reducing sympathetic nervous system activation - which elevates cortisol during chronic pain. Spinal adjustments and soft-tissue therapy reduce pain-related stress. Dr. Stubbs focuses on mechanical relief; for hormone concerns, we coordinate with your medical provider.
