Chiropractic · Austin TX 78734

Chiropractic Care Rooted in Science, Delivered With Compassion

West Austin living is active living. When chiropractic slows you down, we're here to get you back.

Sound familiar?

You worry this is just "getting older" - but chiropractic at your age often has a treatable mechanical cause.

Your West Austin commute alone - about 30 minutes each way to our clinic, but hours daily on Lakeway Resort - compounds spinal stress.

78734 retirees prioritize drug-free pain management - core to our practice philosophy. That reality hits home when chiropractic keeps you from doing what you love.

Insurance confusion and upfront costs have delayed care - but waiting has only made the chiropractic more entrenched.

What changes when you get the right care

  • Flexible hours - Monday 7:30 AM, Thursday until 6:30 PM - accommodate 78734 work schedules.
  • Auto injury and workers' comp documentation handled properly when chiropractic follows an incident.
  • Gentle, precise adjustments target the mechanical cause of chiropractic, not just the symptom.
  • Dr. Stubbs prescribes specific stretches and home protocols - many West Austin chiropractors skip this step.

What 78734 patients say

Chiropractic Care in Austin TX 78734

Technology neck - forward head posture from phones and monitors - is epidemic in West Austin. It contributes directly to chiropractic for many 78734 patients. Ergonomic coaching is part of treatment, not an afterthought.

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 Austin TX 78734 care plan we create - not marketing claims, but peer-reviewed science.

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 78734 patients don't return every few weeks with the same complaint.

Your first visit for chiropractic includes health history, postural photos, range-of-motion testing, and palpation. 78734 patients leave with a written diagnosis, estimated visit count, and home care instructions - not a sales pitch for 36 prepaid visits.

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.

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.
