What Manor patients say
“Worth the drive from Manor. Dr. Stubbs combines adjustment with rehab - my shoulder impingement improved when others just cracked my back.”
“Prenatal care was gentle and effective - but I stayed after delivery for sciatica too. The whole family sees Dr. Stubbs now, even from Manor.”
“Pediatric care for my son's posture - gentle and kid-friendly. We trust Dr. Stubbs for the whole family's sciatica needs.”
Why Manor trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C. has served the Austin metro since 2010 - including thousands of East Austin patients. His approach combines spinal manipulation with prescribed stretches and rehab protocols that many chiropractors omit. For sciatica, that integration matters: adjustments restore mobility, but strengthening prevents recurrence.

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.
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.
