Safety is paramount. Dr. Stubbs performs orthopedic and neurological screening at every 78732 intake. Contraindications - fracture, infection, cauda equina symptoms - are referred immediately. For the vast majority of back pain cases, gentle chiropractic is among the safest conservative options available.

Frequently asked questions

Do you treat children for back pain?+

Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many 78732 families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.

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 78732 patients.

What are your office hours for 78732 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.

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. 78732 patients receive a written estimate at the first visit. HSA/FSA accepted.

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 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.

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+.
