What 78734 patients say
“Skeptical at first - I'd tried two other chiropractors for back pain. Dr. Stubbs actually explained what was wrong and gave me a timeline. He was right.”
“I tried clinics closer to Round Rock but the quality wasn't there. I drive to William Cannon from 78734 because results matter more than convenience.”
“Pediatric care for my son's posture - gentle and kid-friendly. We trust Dr. Stubbs for the whole family's back pain needs.”
Why 78734 trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics supports spinal manipulation for mechanical back pain. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review found manipulation reduces pain and improves function compared to other treatments for acute conditions - the evidence base we follow at Optimal Wellness.

Technique selection varies by patient. For back pain, Dr. Stubbs may use diversified manual adjustments, instrument-assisted methods, flexion-distraction for disc issues, or drop-table techniques - always matched to your age, condition severity, and comfort level. 78734 patients over 60 often prefer gentler approaches, which we provide.
What distinguishes our approach for back pain? Integration. Spinal adjustments restore joint mobility. Soft-tissue therapy releases muscle tension that pulls vertebrae out of alignment. Corrective exercises stabilize the area so 78734 patients don't return every few weeks with the same complaint.
Clinical guidelines from the American Chiropractic Association support conservative care for mechanical back pain before surgery or long-term medication. A typical 78734 treatment plan includes 2–3 visits per week during the acute phase, tapering as symptoms improve - with reassessment every 4–6 visits to ensure progress.

Can I see a chiropractor if I have osteoporosis or osteopenia?+
Yes, with modified techniques. Dr. Stubbs uses gentler, low-force methods for 78734 patients with reduced bone density - avoiding high-velocity adjustments when indicated.
What should I expect at my first back pain visit?+
Health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a frank discussion of findings. 78734 patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
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 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.
