“Prenatal care was gentle and effective - but I stayed after delivery for sciatica too. The whole family sees Dr. Stubbs now, even from 78752.”

Frequently asked questions
Can I book online if I live in 78752?+
Yes - book 24/7 at our online scheduling portal. New Austin TX 78752 patients welcome. You'll receive confirmation and intake forms by email before your visit.
Should I see a chiropractor or my primary doctor first for sciatica?+
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 sciatica, 78752 patients can book directly with us.
Can chiropractic help with sciatica during pregnancy?+
Prenatal chiropractic is safe with proper technique. Webster Technique-certified care supports pelvic balance. Many Austin TX 78752 expectant mothers find relief for pregnancy-related back pain.
What are your office hours for 78752 patients?+
Monday 7:30 AM–6:30 PM, Tuesday 2:30–6:30 PM, Wednesday 8 AM–6:30 PM, Thursday 7:30 AM–6:30 PM, Saturday 10 AM–12 PM. Closed Friday and Sunday.
Can chiropractors help blood flow?+
Yes - adjustments may improve circulation by reducing nerve interference and muscle tension that restrict blood flow. Spinal manipulation decreases sympathetic nervous system activity, which relaxes blood vessels. Soft-tissue work and postural correction complement this for Austin patients dealing with tension-related restriction.
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.
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+.
