Frequently asked questions
Should I see a chiropractor or my primary doctor first for prenatal?+
Either works - no referral required for chiropractic in Texas. If you have red-flag symptoms (fever, unexplained weight loss, bowel/bladder changes), see your MD first. For mechanical prenatal, West Lake Hills patients can book directly with us.
Can a chiropractor actually help with prenatal?+
Yes - for mechanical prenatal caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates West Lake Hills patients with orthopedic and neurological testing before treatment. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review supports spinal manipulation for acute pain. If your case isn't appropriate for chiropractic, we'll say so and refer you.
Do you offer same-day appointments near West Lake Hills?+
Same-day availability is standard on Mon/Wed/Thu. Call (512) 358-0325 early - about 22 minutes from West Lake Hills.
Do you treat prenatal after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. West Lake Hills accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
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 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.
