Sound familiar?
The unpredictability is worst - fine one day, debilitated the next. Nutrition doesn't follow a schedule.
Co-workers in South Congress don't see what you deal with after hours: the stiffness, the fatigue, the frustration.
You've been told it's "in your head" or "normal for your job." You know your body - something is wrong.
You're tired of being told to "just rest" when rest alone hasn't changed anything in weeks.
What changes when you get the right care
- Natural healing supported by evidence: spinal manipulation is recommended for nutrition in major clinical guidelines.
- Whole-body wellness approach - nutrition guidance available when inflammation or recovery needs extra support.
- Join South Congress neighbors who chose drug-free nutrition care and stayed for wellness maintenance.
- Integrated rehab exercises strengthen weak areas so relief lasts beyond the adjustment table.
What South Congress patients say
“Whiplash after a fender-bender - symptoms showed up 3 days later. Dr. Stubbs documented everything for insurance and my nutrition resolved in 8 weeks.”
“When I moved to Austin I was sure no chiropractor could compare to my DC. Dr. Stubbs filled the void and then some - quality nutrition care plus stretches and rehab for weak areas. He always makes time and calls to check up. I'd recommend him to anyone in South Congress.”
“Pediatric care for my son's posture - gentle and kid-friendly. We trust Dr. Stubbs for the whole family's nutrition needs.”

Pediatric, prenatal, and geriatric nutrition cases require modified techniques. Dr. Stubbs adjusts force, positioning, and frequency based on life stage - critical for South Congress families who want one trusted provider for multiple generations.
Coordination with other providers strengthens outcomes. If your nutrition requires imaging, we refer to trusted Austin radiology partners. If physical therapy complements adjustment, we communicate with your PT. South Congress patients benefit from a team approach, not siloed care.

For nutrition, Dr. Stubbs may use diversified manual adjustments, instrument-assisted methods, flexion-distraction for disc issues, or drop-table techniques - always matched to your age, condition severity, and comfort level. South Congress patients over 60 often prefer gentler approaches, which we provide.

Frequently asked questions
What should I expect at my first nutrition visit?+
Health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a frank discussion of findings. South Congress patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
Do you treat nutrition after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. South Congress accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
How is your clinic different from other Central Austin chiropractors?+
One doctor who knows your history. Integrated rehab exercises. No prepaid visit packages. Honest reassessment every 4–6 visits. South Congress patients choose us for quality over convenience - though we're about 16 minutes away.

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 I go to a chiropractor if I have osteopenia?+
Yes, with modified techniques. People with osteopenia can safely receive chiropractic care when the chiropractor uses low-force methods instead of high-velocity adjustments. Dr. Stubbs reviews your health history and uses gentler approaches for patients with reduced bone density - common among Austin adults 50+.
How much do chiropractors cost for back pain in Texas?+
In Texas, back-pain visits typically run $60–$120 without insurance; initial exams $75–$125. Austin trends slightly higher. At Optimal Wellness on William Cannon, we provide a written estimate at your first visit - initial evaluations $75–$125, follow-ups $50–$75. HSA/FSA accepted.
