Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between chiropractic and physical therapy for headaches?+
Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and joint mobility; PT emphasizes exercise and functional movement. Dr. Stubbs integrates rehab exercises into headaches care - combining both approaches for Austin TX 78704 patients.
Can chiropractic help with headaches during pregnancy?+
Prenatal chiropractic is safe with proper technique. Webster Technique-certified care supports pelvic balance. Many Austin TX 78704 expectant mothers find relief for pregnancy-related back pain.
Is chiropractic safe for headaches?+
When performed by a licensed chiropractor after proper evaluation, yes. Dr. Stubbs screens for contraindications at every 78704 intake. Serious adverse events are extremely rare - significantly less common than complications from surgery or long-term NSAID use.
Do you accept new patients from 78704?+
Yes - we welcome new Austin TX 78704 patients for headaches care. No referral needed. Book online 24/7 or call (512) 358-0325 for same-day availability.
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 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.
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.
