Frequently asked questions
Do you treat neck pain after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. Mueller accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
Can I see a chiropractor if I have osteoporosis or osteopenia?+
Yes, with modified techniques. Dr. Stubbs uses gentler, low-force methods for Mueller patients with reduced bone density - avoiding high-velocity adjustments when indicated.
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 Mueller, Austin TX patients.
How is your clinic different from other East Austin chiropractors?+
One doctor who knows your history. Integrated rehab exercises. No prepaid visit packages. Honest reassessment every 4–6 visits. Mueller patients choose us for quality over convenience - though we're about 22 minutes away.
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. 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.
