SH-130 and FM 685 - Pflugerville crash corridors
The SH-130 toll corridor through eastern Pflugerville and the FM 685 / Kelly Lane interchange see heavy stop-and-go commuter traffic toward Domain tech campuses. TxDOT CRIS data shows rear-end collisions - the leading whiplash mechanism - represent ~35% of Travis County crashes. Delayed-onset neck and scoliosis peaks 24–72 hours after these low-speed impacts.
Tech bedroom community posture patterns
Pflugerville feeds Dell (Round Rock), Samsung, and Domain-area employers. Desk work plus 30–50 minute SH-130 commutes create forward head posture, thoracic kyphosis, and lumbar disc compression - the cervicogenic headache and T4 syndrome patterns Dr. Stubbs treats from our William Cannon clinic (~35 minutes south).

Can a chiropractor actually help with scoliosis?+

Dr. Stubbs evaluates Pflugerville 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.
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 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 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.
