Sound familiar?
78619 residents split time between hill-country acreage and Austin jobs - long seated drives that stack spinal stress before they ever hit the office. That reality hits home when scoliosis keeps you from doing what you love.
The fear of surgery looms every time the pain spikes - but you're not ready to go that route without exhausting conservative options.
Insurance confusion and upfront costs have delayed care - but waiting has only made the scoliosis more entrenched.
Night pain disrupts sleep, and poor sleep makes scoliosis worse. It's a cycle Driftwood residents know too well.

What Driftwood patients say
“Pediatric care for my son's posture - gentle and kid-friendly. We trust Dr. Stubbs for the whole family's scoliosis needs.”
“After a car accident left me with constant neck pain, Dr. Stubbs created a plan that actually worked. He always makes time and genuinely cares. I'm finally back to living without scoliosis.”
“When I moved to Austin I was sure no chiropractor could compare to my DC. Dr. Stubbs filled the void and then some - quality scoliosis care plus stretches and rehab for weak areas. He always makes time and calls to check up. I'd recommend him to anyone in Driftwood.”
Why Driftwood trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Patient outcomes drive our reputation in Hays County. Lauren K., a Circle C patient, notes: "Dr. Stubbs performs quality chiropractic care in addition to prescribing stretches and rehab for my weak areas which many chiropractors don't do." That rehab integration is central to scoliosis recovery.

Frequently asked questions
Do you treat scoliosis after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. Driftwood accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
What insurance do you accept for Driftwood patients?+
We accept many PPO plans. Call (512) 358-0325 with your insurance card for verification. Cash, credit, HSA, and FSA also accepted.
Can I see a chiropractor if I have osteoporosis or osteopenia?+
Yes, with modified techniques. Dr. Stubbs uses gentler, low-force methods for Driftwood patients with reduced bone density - avoiding high-velocity adjustments when indicated.
Do you offer same-day appointments near Driftwood?+
Same-day availability is standard on Mon/Wed/Thu. Call (512) 358-0325 early - about 25 minutes from Driftwood.
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.
Does insurance cover chiropractic for back pain in Texas?+
Many PPO plans cover chiropractic for mechanical back pain. At Optimal Wellness on William Cannon, we verify benefits and provide a written estimate at your first visit. HSA/FSA accepted. Call (512) 358-0325 for current self-pay options.
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.
