Frequently asked questions
Do you treat back pain after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. South Congress accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
How much does back pain chiropractic cost in Texas?+
Initial evaluations typically run $75–$125; follow-up visits $50–$75. Many PPO insurance plans cover chiropractic. South Congress patients receive a written estimate at the first visit. HSA/FSA accepted.
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, South Congress patients can book directly with us.
What are your office hours for South Congress patients?+
Monday 7:30 AM–6:30 PM, Tuesday 2:30–6:30 PM, Wednesday 8 AM–6:30 PM, Thursday 7:30 AM–6:30 PM, Saturday 10 AM–12 PM. Closed Friday and Sunday.
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.
What are red flags for chiropractors?+
Red flags include requiring long-term prepaid contracts, guaranteeing cures for non-musculoskeletal conditions, taking X-rays unnecessarily before an exam, discouraging medical referrals, and high-pressure sales tactics at the first visit. At Optimal Wellness, Dr. James Stubbs Jr. explains each treatment step and reassesses your plan every 4–6 visits - no prepaid packages.
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+.
