Frequently asked questions
How many visits will I need for neck pain?+
Acute neck pain typically responds in 6–12 visits over 4–8 weeks. Chronic cases may need longer. Dr. Stubbs gives a specific estimate at your first 78728 visit and reassesses every 4–6 visits.
Do you treat neck pain after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. 78728 accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
How is your clinic different from other North Austin chiropractors?+
One doctor who knows your history. Integrated rehab exercises. No prepaid visit packages. Honest reassessment every 4–6 visits. 78728 patients choose us for quality over convenience - though we're about 32 minutes away.

What are red flags for chiropractors?+
Red flags include requiring long-term prepaid contracts, guaranteeing cures for non-musculoskeletal conditions, taking X-rays unnecessarily before an exam, discouraging medical referrals, and high-pressure sales tactics at the first visit. At Optimal Wellness, Dr. James Stubbs Jr. explains each treatment step and reassesses your plan every 4–6 visits - no prepaid packages.
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.
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.
