Sound familiar?
Friends in Mueller recommend chiropractors, but you don't know who actually delivers results versus quick cracks.
Night pain disrupts sleep, and poor sleep makes carpal tunnel worse. It's a cycle Mueller residents know too well.
Mueller parents juggling kids and careers need convenient appointment times - we offer extended Monday and Thursday hours. That reality hits home when carpal tunnel keeps you from doing what you love.
Your East Austin commute alone - about 22 minutes each way to our clinic, but hours daily on Mueller Lake Park - compounds spinal stress.
What changes when you get the right care
- A single provider who knows your history - not a rotating cast of associates who re-read your chart each visit.
- Reduced inflammation and improved nerve signaling - the downstream effects of proper spinal alignment.
- Thorough first-visit evaluation means you leave knowing exactly what's causing your carpal tunnel and what the plan is.
- Integrated rehab exercises strengthen weak areas so relief lasts beyond the adjustment table.
What Mueller patients say
“Pediatric care for my son's posture - gentle and kid-friendly. We trust Dr. Stubbs for the whole family's carpal tunnel needs.”
“Dr. Stubbs worked on several issues including my allergies - I left feeling awesome and immediately recommended him to my parents. If you have carpal tunnel you can't shake in Mueller, go see them.”
“As a local worker, I sit 10 hours a day. Dr. Stubbs fixed my neck and showed me desk setup changes. Worth the drive from Mueller.”

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.
How much does a chiropractor cost in Texas?+
In Texas, chiropractic visits typically cost $30–$200 per session without insurance. Initial exams run $75–$125; follow-ups $50–$75. Austin prices trend slightly higher due to cost of living. At Optimal Wellness on William Cannon, we provide a written estimate at your first visit - no surprise billing.
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+.
