Cost transparency matters. Most back pain treatment plans at our Austin clinic range from $50–$75 per visit without insurance. We accept many PPO plans and provide documentation for HSA/FSA reimbursement. Manor patients receive a written estimate at the first visit - no surprise bills.
We treat back pain for patients from Manor Express, Samsung east, US-290 and throughout Manor, TX. Whether you're a weekend warrior, a desk worker, a new parent, or recovering from injury - the evaluation is the same: thorough, honest, and personalized.

Frequently asked questions
Should I see a chiropractor or my primary doctor first for back pain?+
Either works - no referral required for chiropractic in Texas. If you have red-flag symptoms (fever, unexplained weight loss, bowel/bladder changes), see your MD first. For mechanical back pain, Manor patients can book directly with us.
How far is Optimal Wellness from Manor?+
Our clinic at 3421 W William Cannon Dr #145, Austin TX 78745 is about 30 minutes from Manor. Most Manor, TX patients reach us via Manor Express without entering downtown Austin.
What's the difference between chiropractic and physical therapy for back pain?+
Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and joint mobility; PT emphasizes exercise and functional movement. Dr. Stubbs integrates rehab exercises into back pain care - combining both approaches for Manor, TX patients.
What insurance do you accept for Manor patients?+
We accept many PPO plans. Call (512) 358-0325 with your insurance card for verification. Cash, credit, HSA, and FSA also accepted.
How much does a chiropractor cost in Texas?+
In Texas, chiropractic visits typically cost $30–$200 per session without insurance. Initial exams run $75–$125; follow-ups $50–$75. Austin prices trend slightly higher due to cost of living. At Optimal Wellness on William Cannon, we provide a written estimate at your first visit - no surprise billing.
Can chiropractors help blood flow?+
Yes - adjustments may improve circulation by reducing nerve interference and muscle tension that restrict blood flow. Spinal manipulation decreases sympathetic nervous system activity, which relaxes blood vessels. Soft-tissue work and postural correction complement this for Austin patients dealing with tension-related restriction.
Can a chiropractor prescribe prednisone?+
No. Chiropractors in Texas are not licensed to prescribe medications, including prednisone. Chiropractic is drug-free by design. In Texas, only MDs, DOs, nurse practitioners, and PAs with prescriptive authority can prescribe pharmaceuticals. Dr. Stubbs focuses on spinal adjustment, soft-tissue therapy, and rehab exercises instead.
