Sound familiar?
You're tired of being told to "just rest" when rest alone hasn't changed anything in weeks.
Medication takes the edge off, but you know it's not fixing anything - and the side effects aren't worth it long-term.
Every specialist in Hays County seems to pass you along. Nobody owns the full picture of your nutrition.
The unpredictability is worst - fine one day, debilitated the next. Nutrition doesn't follow a schedule.

What San Marcos patients say
“At 62, I needed gentle care for arthritis-related nutrition. Dr. Stubbs uses low-force techniques - no scary neck twists. San Marcos seniors: you'll feel safe here.”
“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 San Marcos.”
“Whiplash after a fender-bender - symptoms showed up 3 days later. Dr. Stubbs documented everything for insurance and my nutrition resolved in 8 weeks.”
Why San Marcos trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.

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. San Marcos patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
Do you provide documentation for workers' comp nutrition claims?+
Yes. Proper diagnosis coding and progress notes for every visit. Workers from San Marcos receive complete documentation.
What's the difference between chiropractic and physical therapy for nutrition?+
Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and joint mobility; PT emphasizes exercise and functional movement. Dr. Stubbs integrates rehab exercises into nutrition care - combining both approaches for San Marcos, TX patients.
Is chiropractic safe for nutrition?+
When performed by a licensed chiropractor after proper evaluation, yes. Dr. Stubbs screens for contraindications at every San Marcos intake. Serious adverse events are extremely rare - significantly less common than complications from surgery or long-term NSAID use.
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+.
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 a chiropractor actually help with back pain?+
Yes, for mechanical low back pain caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or disc pressure. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review found spinal manipulation reduces pain and improves function. Dr. Stubbs evaluates every patient with orthopedic and neurological testing before treatment - and tells you honestly if chiropractic isn't the right fit.
