How is your clinic different from other West Austin chiropractors?+
One doctor who knows your history. Integrated rehab exercises. No prepaid visit packages. Honest reassessment every 4–6 visits. Bee Cave patients choose us for quality over convenience - though we're about 25 minutes away.
Do you provide documentation for workers' comp sciatica claims?+
Yes. Proper diagnosis coding and progress notes for every visit. Workers from Bee Cave receive complete documentation.
How much does sciatica chiropractic cost in Texas?+
Initial evaluations typically run $75–$125; follow-up visits $50–$75. Many PPO insurance plans cover chiropractic. Bee Cave patients receive a written estimate at the first visit. HSA/FSA accepted.
Do you treat children for sciatica?+
Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many Bee Cave families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.
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 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.
