Why Southeast Austin trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Chiropractic physicians complete a minimum of 4,200 hours of clinical training - including 1,000 hours of supervised patient care. Dr. Stubbs applies that training to every Southeast Austin patient with prenatal, starting with orthopedic and neurological screening before any adjustment.
Prenatal Chiropractic in Southeast Austin, TX
What distinguishes our approach for prenatal? Integration. Spinal adjustments restore joint mobility. Soft-tissue therapy releases muscle tension that pulls vertebrae out of alignment. Corrective exercises stabilize the area so Southeast Austin patients don't return every few weeks with the same complaint.
Coordination with other providers strengthens outcomes. If your prenatal requires imaging, we refer to trusted Austin radiology partners. If physical therapy complements adjustment, we communicate with your PT. Southeast Austin patients benefit from a team approach, not siloed care.
Safety is paramount. Dr. Stubbs performs orthopedic and neurological screening at every Southeast Austin intake. Contraindications - fracture, infection, cauda equina symptoms - are referred immediately. For the vast majority of prenatal cases, gentle chiropractic is among the safest conservative options available.
Cost transparency matters. Most prenatal treatment plans at our Austin clinic range from $50–$75 per visit without insurance. We accept many PPO plans and provide documentation for HSA/FSA reimbursement. Southeast Austin patients receive a written estimate at the first visit - no surprise bills.

Frequently asked questions
How much does prenatal chiropractic cost in Texas?+
Initial evaluations typically run $75–$125; follow-up visits $50–$75. Many PPO insurance plans cover chiropractic. Southeast Austin patients receive a written estimate at the first visit. HSA/FSA accepted.
Do you treat children for prenatal?+
Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many Southeast Austin families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.
What should I expect at my first prenatal visit?+
Health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a frank discussion of findings. Southeast Austin patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
Is there parking at your clinic for Southeast Austin patients?+
Free parking directly in front of our William Cannon office. Wheelchair accessible entrance. No garage fees or validation needed - unlike downtown Austin clinics.
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.
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 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.
