Frequently asked questions
Can a chiropractor actually help with sciatica?+
Yes - for mechanical sciatica caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates West Lake Hills patients with orthopedic and neurological testing before treatment. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review supports spinal manipulation for acute pain. If your case isn't appropriate for chiropractic, we'll say so and refer you.
Do you accept new patients from West Lake Hills?+
Yes - we welcome new West Lake Hills, TX patients for sciatica care. No referral needed. Book online 24/7 or call (512) 358-0325 for same-day availability.
Do you treat children for sciatica?+
Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many West Lake Hills families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.
How many visits will I need for sciatica?+
Acute sciatica typically responds in 6–12 visits over 4–8 weeks. Chronic cases may need longer. Dr. Stubbs gives a specific estimate at your first West Lake Hills visit and reassesses every 4–6 visits.
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.
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 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.
