What Driftwood patients say
“Whiplash after a fender-bender - symptoms showed up 3 days later. Dr. Stubbs documented everything for insurance and my pediatric resolved in 8 weeks.”
“I tried clinics closer to Round Rock but the quality wasn't there. I drive to William Cannon from Driftwood because results matter more than convenience.”

Why Driftwood trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.

A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review found manipulation reduces pain and improves function compared to other treatments for acute conditions - the evidence base we follow at Optimal Wellness.

Do you treat pediatric after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. Driftwood accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
What's the difference between chiropractic and physical therapy for pediatric?+
Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and joint mobility; PT emphasizes exercise and functional movement. Dr. Stubbs integrates rehab exercises into pediatric care - combining both approaches for Driftwood, TX patients.
Should I see a chiropractor or my primary doctor first for pediatric?+
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 pediatric, Driftwood patients can book directly with us.
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 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.
