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.

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.
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.
