Sound familiar?
You've skipped workouts, social plans, even sleep because carpal tunnel makes everything harder.
Your West Austin commute alone - about 30 minutes each way to our clinic, but hours daily on Lakeway Resort & Spa - compounds spinal stress.
Lakeway golfers need thoracic mobility and hip rotation work - we understand rotational athletes. That reality hits home when carpal tunnel keeps you from doing what you love.
You're tired of being told to "just rest" when rest alone hasn't changed anything in weeks.
What changes when you get the right care
- Patients from Lakeway often refer family members - the highest compliment in a community-focused practice.
- Located about 30 minutes from Lakeway - convenient enough for consistent care, which is what drives results.
- You get back to doing the things you stopped doing - without modifying your Lakeway life around the pain.
- Soft-tissue therapy complements adjustments - releasing muscle tension that keeps carpal tunnel recurring.
What Lakeway patients say
“I appreciated that Dr. Stubbs told me what to expect - how many visits, what each would involve. No mystery billing for carpal tunnel care.”
“Training for the Austin Marathon wrecked my IT band and low back. Sport-specific care got me to the start line. Any Lakeway runner with carpal tunnel should start here.”
“I commute from Lakeway to Austin daily - my back was destroyed. Dr. Stubbs didn't just adjust me; he gave me exercises I still do. Carpal Tunnel is manageable now.”
Why Lakeway trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics supports spinal manipulation for mechanical carpal tunnel. 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.

Carpal Tunnel care for Lakeway, TX
RM 620 corridor and Lake Travis recreation
Lakeway's RM 620 artery combines commuter traffic, school routes, and lake access. TxDOT's active widening project between Lakeway Blvd and Anderson Mill creates construction-zone rear-end collision risk. Paddleboarding, mountain biking at Lakeway City Park, and tennis at the Activity Center generate rotator cuff and lumbar injuries Dr. Stubbs treats.
St. David's Bee Cave ER - the care gap
St. David's Bee Cave Emergency Center on RM 620 stabilizes acute cases but transfers serious trauma to Dell Seton (~25 miles). ER clearance doesn't address whiplash, disc injuries, or SI dysfunction visible on initial imaging. Lakeway accident victims benefit from chiropractic evaluation within 72 hours - our clinic is ~30 minutes east on William Cannon.
Lake Travis ISD student athletes
LTISD's 11,000+ students include state-ranked Cavaliers programs at Lake Travis High on Serene Hills Drive. Athletic trainers refer musculoskeletal cases beyond their scope to licensed DCs.
