Frequently asked questions
Do you treat headaches after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. 78703 accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
Can chiropractic help with headaches during pregnancy?+
Prenatal chiropractic is safe with proper technique. Webster Technique-certified care supports pelvic balance. Many Austin TX 78703 expectant mothers find relief for pregnancy-related back pain.
Do you treat children for headaches?+
Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many 78703 families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.
What should I expect at my first headaches visit?+
Health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a frank discussion of findings. 78703 patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
Can chiropractors help blood flow?+
Yes - adjustments may improve circulation by reducing nerve interference and muscle tension that restrict blood flow. Spinal manipulation decreases sympathetic nervous system activity, which relaxes blood vessels. Soft-tissue work and postural correction complement this for Austin patients dealing with tension-related restriction.
How much does a chiropractor cost in Texas?+
In Texas, chiropractic visits typically cost $30–$200 per session without insurance. Initial exams run $75–$125; follow-ups $50–$75. Austin prices trend slightly higher due to cost of living. At Optimal Wellness on William Cannon, we provide a written estimate at your first visit - no surprise billing.
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+.
