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.
How much do chiropractors cost for back pain in Texas?+
In Texas, back-pain visits typically run $60–$120 without insurance; initial exams $75–$125. Austin trends slightly higher. At Optimal Wellness on William Cannon, we provide a written estimate at your first visit - initial evaluations $75–$125, follow-ups $50–$75. HSA/FSA accepted.
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.
