Sound familiar?
Previous providers rushed you through. Adjustments helped briefly, then the back pain returned within days.
You're tired of being told to "just rest" when rest alone hasn't changed anything in weeks.
Simple tasks - lifting a bag, turning your head, standing from a chair - trigger back pain you didn't used to have.
You see others in 78739 staying active while you're sidelined - and it's demoralizing.
What changes when you get the right care
- Your plan is reassessed every 4–6 visits. If something isn't working, we change approach - no endless prepaid packages.
- Whole-body wellness approach - nutrition guidance available when inflammation or recovery needs extra support.
- We document progress objectively so you can see improvement, not just feel it vaguely.
- Soft-tissue therapy complements adjustments - releasing muscle tension that keeps back pain recurring.

Frequently asked questions
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 78739 patients.
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, 78739 patients can book directly with us.
Is there parking at your clinic for 78739 patients?+
Free parking directly in front of our William Cannon office. Wheelchair accessible entrance. No garage fees or validation needed - unlike downtown Austin clinics.
How is your clinic different from other South Austin chiropractors?+
One doctor who knows your history. Integrated rehab exercises. No prepaid visit packages. Honest reassessment every 4–6 visits. 78739 patients choose us for quality over convenience - though we're about 10 minutes away.
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 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 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.
