You've been told it's "in your head" or "normal for your job." You know your body - something is wrong.
Insurance confusion and upfront costs have delayed care - but waiting has only made the chiropractic more entrenched.
The fear of surgery looms every time the pain spikes - but you're not ready to go that route without exhausting conservative options.

What Lakeway patients say
“No upselling, no 36-visit packages upfront. Dr. Stubbs reassessed me at visit 6 and we adjusted the plan. That honesty is rare for chiropractic care in Austin.”
“Prenatal care was gentle and effective - but I stayed after delivery for chiropractic too. The whole family sees Dr. Stubbs now, even from Lakeway.”
“Skeptical at first - I'd tried two other chiropractors for chiropractic. Dr. Stubbs actually explained what was wrong and gave me a timeline. He was right.”
Why Lakeway 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 Lakeway patient with chiropractic, starting with orthopedic and neurological screening before any adjustment.
Chiropractic Care in Lakeway, TX
Technique selection varies by patient. For chiropractic, Dr. Stubbs may use diversified manual adjustments, instrument-assisted methods, flexion-distraction for disc issues, or drop-table techniques - always matched to your age, condition severity, and comfort level. Lakeway patients over 60 often prefer gentler approaches, which we provide.
Chiropractic Care at Optimal Wellness & Chiropractic begins with understanding why Lakeway residents develop chiropractic in the first place. Lakeway golfers need thoracic mobility and hip rotation work - we understand rotational athletes. Dr. James Stubbs Jr. evaluates posture, spinal alignment, nerve function, and movement patterns before recommending any treatment - because chiropractic without a diagnosis is guesswork.
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 Lakeway patients don't return every few weeks with the same complaint.
Clinical guidelines from the American Chiropractic Association support conservative care for mechanical chiropractic before surgery or long-term medication. A typical Lakeway treatment plan includes 2–3 visits per week during the acute phase, tapering as symptoms improve - with reassessment every 4–6 visits to ensure progress.
- Full spinal and postural evaluation
- Gentle, precise adjustments
- Soft-tissue therapy and rehab exercises

Chiropractic care for Lakeway, TX
RM 620 corridor and Lake Travis recreation
Lakeway's RM 620 artery combines commuter traffic, school routes, and lake access. TxDOT's active widening project between Lakeway Blvd and Anderson Mill creates construction-zone rear-end collision risk. Paddleboarding, mountain biking at Lakeway City Park, and tennis at the Activity Center generate rotator cuff and lumbar injuries Dr. Stubbs treats.
St. David's Bee Cave ER - the care gap
St. David's Bee Cave Emergency Center on RM 620 stabilizes acute cases but transfers serious trauma to Dell Seton (~25 miles). ER clearance doesn't address whiplash, disc injuries, or SI dysfunction visible on initial imaging. Lakeway accident victims benefit from chiropractic evaluation within 72 hours - our clinic is ~30 minutes east on William Cannon.
Lake Travis ISD student athletes
LTISD's 11,000+ students include state-ranked Cavaliers programs at Lake Travis High on Serene Hills Drive. Athletic trainers refer musculoskeletal cases beyond their scope to licensed DCs. Student-athletes with recurring chiropractic or hip flexor issues find sport-specific care at Optimal Wellness.

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.
