Sound familiar?
Medication takes the edge off, but you know it's not fixing anything - and the side effects aren't worth it long-term.
Co-workers in Leander don't see what you deal with after hours: the stiffness, the fatigue, the frustration.
The fear of surgery looms every time the pain spikes - but you're not ready to go that route without exhausting conservative options.
You're tired of being told to "just rest" when rest alone hasn't changed anything in weeks.
What changes when you get the right care
- Dr. Stubbs prescribes specific stretches and home protocols - many Metro chiropractors skip this step.
- Thorough first-visit evaluation means you leave knowing exactly what's causing your sciatica and what the plan is.
- Better sleep as sciatica decreases - patients consistently report this within the first month.
- Most Leander patients report meaningful improvement within the first few weeks of sciatica treatment - not months of guessing.

How much does a chiropractor cost in Texas?+
In Texas, chiropractic visits typically cost $30–$200 per session without insurance. Initial exams run $75–$125; follow-ups $50–$75. Austin prices trend slightly higher due to cost of living. At Optimal Wellness on William Cannon, we provide a written estimate at your first visit - no surprise billing.
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 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.
