Frequently asked questions
Can a chiropractor actually help with carpal tunnel?+
Yes - for mechanical carpal tunnel caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates 78721 patients with orthopedic and neurological testing before treatment.

One doctor who knows your history. Integrated rehab exercises. No prepaid visit packages. Honest reassessment every 4–6 visits. 78721 patients choose us for quality over convenience - though we're about 20 minutes away.
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+.
How much do chiropractors cost for back pain in Texas?+
In Texas, back-pain visits typically run $60–$120 without insurance; initial exams $75–$125. Austin trends slightly higher. At Optimal Wellness on William Cannon, we provide a written estimate at your first visit - initial evaluations $75–$125, follow-ups $50–$75. HSA/FSA accepted.
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.
