Why Sunset Valley trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.

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 Sunset Valley intake. Serious adverse events are extremely rare - significantly less common than complications from surgery or long-term NSAID use.
What's the difference between chiropractic and physical therapy for carpal tunnel?+
Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and joint mobility; PT emphasizes exercise and functional movement. Dr. Stubbs integrates rehab exercises into carpal tunnel care - combining both approaches for Sunset Valley, TX patients.
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 Sunset Valley 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.
Do you accept new patients from Sunset Valley?+
Yes - we welcome new Sunset Valley, 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 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 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.
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.
