Frequently asked questions

Is chiropractic safe for disc injury?+

When performed by a licensed chiropractor after proper evaluation, yes. Dr. Stubbs screens for contraindications at every 78722 intake. Serious adverse events are extremely rare - significantly less common than complications from surgery or long-term NSAID use.

What are your office hours for 78722 patients?+

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.

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.
