Technology neck - forward head posture from phones and monitors - is epidemic in Central Austin. It contributes directly to nutrition for many Zilker patients. Ergonomic coaching is part of treatment, not an afterthought.
Technique selection varies by patient. 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. Zilker patients over 60 often prefer gentler approaches, which we provide.

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. Zilker patients choose us for quality over convenience - though we're about 16 minutes away.
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 Zilker, Austin TX patients.

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 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.
How much does a chiropractor cost in Texas?+
In Texas, chiropractic visits typically cost $30–$200 per session without insurance. Initial exams run $75–$125; follow-ups $50–$75. Austin prices trend slightly higher due to cost of living. At Optimal Wellness on William Cannon, we provide a written estimate at your first visit - no surprise billing.
