Frequently asked questions

Is chiropractic safe for back pain?+

When performed by a licensed chiropractor after proper evaluation, yes. Dr. Stubbs screens for contraindications at every 78703 intake. Serious adverse events are extremely rare - significantly less common than complications from surgery or long-term NSAID use.

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, 78703 patients can book directly with us.

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 Austin TX 78703 patients.

Do you treat children for back pain?+

Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many 78703 families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.

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+.

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.
