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 78727 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, 78727 patients can book directly with us.
Can a chiropractor actually help with back pain?+
Yes - for mechanical back pain caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates 78727 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.

We accept many PPO plans. Call (512) 358-0325 with your insurance card for verification. Cash, credit, HSA, and FSA also accepted.
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.
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.
