What Manor patients say
“As a Samsung Austin Semiconductor employee, I sit 10 hours a day. Dr. Stubbs fixed my neck and showed me desk setup changes. Worth the drive from Manor.”
“Prenatal care was gentle and effective - but I stayed after delivery for chiropractic too. The whole family sees Dr. Stubbs now, even from Manor.”
“Training for the Austin Marathon wrecked my IT band and low back. Sport-specific care got me to the start line. Any Manor runner with chiropractic should start here.”
Why Manor trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Chiropractic physicians complete a minimum of 4,200 hours of clinical training - including 1,000 hours of supervised patient care. Dr. Stubbs applies that training to every Manor patient with chiropractic, starting with orthopedic and neurological screening before any adjustment.
Chiropractic Care in Manor, TX
Coordination with other providers strengthens outcomes. If your chiropractic requires imaging, we refer to trusted Austin radiology partners. If physical therapy complements adjustment, we communicate with your PT. Manor patients benefit from a team approach, not siloed care.
What distinguishes our approach for chiropractic? Integration. Spinal adjustments restore joint mobility. Soft-tissue therapy releases muscle tension that pulls vertebrae out of alignment. Corrective exercises stabilize the area so Manor patients don't return every few weeks with the same complaint.
Safety is paramount. Dr. Stubbs performs orthopedic and neurological screening at every Manor intake. Contraindications - fracture, infection, cauda equina symptoms - are referred immediately. For the vast majority of chiropractic cases, gentle chiropractic is among the safest conservative options available.
Research specific to chiropractic: multiple systematic reviews confirm spinal manipulation reduces pain intensity and improves functional outcomes compared to sham treatment. That evidence underpins every Manor, TX care plan we create - not marketing claims, but peer-reviewed science.
- Full spinal and postural evaluation
- Gentle, precise adjustments
- Soft-tissue therapy and rehab exercises

Frequently asked questions
Should I see a chiropractor or my primary doctor first for chiropractic?+
Either works - no referral required for chiropractic in Texas. If you have red-flag symptoms (fever, unexplained weight loss, bowel/bladder changes), see your MD first. For mechanical chiropractic, Manor patients can book directly with us.
Do you provide documentation for workers' comp chiropractic claims?+
Yes. Proper diagnosis coding and progress notes for every visit. Samsung Austin Semiconductor employees from Manor receive complete documentation.
How far is Optimal Wellness from Manor?+
Our clinic at 3421 W William Cannon Dr #145, Austin TX 78745 is about 30 minutes from Manor. Most Manor, TX patients reach us via Manor Express without entering downtown Austin.
What are your office hours for Manor patients?+
Monday 7:30 AM–6:30 PM, Tuesday 2:30–6:30 PM, Wednesday 8 AM–6:30 PM, Thursday 7:30 AM–6:30 PM, Saturday 10 AM–12 PM. Closed Friday and Sunday.
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.
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 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.
Don't wait for chiropractic to become chronic. Manor residents: same-day appointments at (512) 358-0325.
