Frequently asked questions
Is chiropractic safe for carpal tunnel?+
When performed by a licensed chiropractor after proper evaluation, yes. Dr. Stubbs screens for contraindications at every Pflugerville intake. Serious adverse events are extremely rare - significantly less common than complications from surgery or long-term NSAID use.
Do you offer same-day appointments near Pflugerville?+
Same-day availability is standard on Mon/Wed/Thu. Call (512) 358-0325 early - about 35 minutes from Pflugerville.
Do you accept new patients from Pflugerville?+
Yes - we welcome new Pflugerville, TX patients for carpal tunnel care. No referral needed. Book online 24/7 or call (512) 358-0325 for same-day availability.
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 Pflugerville patients with orthopedic and neurological testing before treatment. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review supports spinal manipulation for acute pain. If your case isn't appropriate for chiropractic, we'll say so and refer you.
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.
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.
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.
Don't wait for carpal tunnel to become chronic. Pflugerville residents: same-day appointments at (512) 358-0325.
