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 chiropractors help blood flow?+

Yes - adjustments may improve circulation by reducing nerve interference and muscle tension that restrict blood flow.

Soft-tissue work and postural correction complement this for Austin patients dealing with tension-related restriction.
