Frequently asked questions
Can a chiropractor actually help with neck pain?+
Yes - for mechanical neck pain caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates 78752 patients with orthopedic and neurological testing before treatment. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review supports spinal manipulation for acute pain. If your case isn't appropriate for chiropractic, we'll say so and refer you.
What's the difference between chiropractic and physical therapy for neck pain?+
Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and joint mobility; PT emphasizes exercise and functional movement. Dr. Stubbs integrates rehab exercises into neck pain care - combining both approaches for Austin TX 78752 patients.
Should I see a chiropractor or my primary doctor first for neck pain?+
Either works - no referral required for chiropractic in Texas. If you have red-flag symptoms (fever, unexplained weight loss, bowel/bladder changes), see your MD first. For mechanical neck pain, 78752 patients can book directly with us.

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.

Can a chiropractor prescribe prednisone?+
No. Chiropractors in Texas are not licensed to prescribe medications, including prednisone. Chiropractic is drug-free by design.
