Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between chiropractic and physical therapy for chiropractic?+
Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and joint mobility; PT emphasizes exercise and functional movement. Dr. Stubbs integrates rehab exercises into chiropractic care - combining both approaches for Shady Hollow, Austin TX patients.
How many visits will I need for chiropractic?+
Acute chiropractic typically responds in 6–12 visits over 4–8 weeks. Chronic cases may need longer. Dr. Stubbs gives a specific estimate at your first Shady Hollow visit and reassesses every 4–6 visits.
Can I book online if I live in Shady Hollow?+

Do you treat children for chiropractic?+
Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many Shady Hollow families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.
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+.
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 actually help with back pain?+
Yes, for mechanical low back pain caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or disc pressure. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review found spinal manipulation reduces pain and improves function. Dr. Stubbs evaluates every patient with orthopedic and neurological testing before treatment - and tells you honestly if chiropractic isn't the right fit.
