Sound familiar?
You're tired of being told to "just rest" when rest alone hasn't changed anything in weeks.
Every morning you wake up in Zilker, Austin TX and it's the first thing you feel - before coffee, before the commute on Zilker Park.
Night pain disrupts sleep, and poor sleep makes scoliosis worse. It's a cycle Zilker residents know too well.
You've been told it's "in your head" or "normal for your job." You know your body - something is wrong.
What changes when you get the right care
- Natural healing supported by evidence: spinal manipulation is recommended for scoliosis in major clinical guidelines.
- You get back to doing the things you stopped doing - without modifying your Zilker life around the pain.
- Drug-free care means no dependency, no side effects - just restored function.
- We document progress objectively so you can see improvement, not just feel it vaguely.
What Zilker patients say
“Training for the Austin Marathon wrecked my IT band and low back. Sport-specific care got me to the start line. Any Zilker runner with scoliosis should start here.”
“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 Zilker.”
“Dr. Stubbs worked on several issues including my allergies - I left feeling awesome and immediately recommended him to my parents. If you have scoliosis you can't shake in Zilker, go see them.”
Why Zilker trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Patient outcomes drive our reputation in Travis 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.

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.
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.
