Sound familiar?
Insurance confusion and upfront costs have delayed care - but waiting has only made the shoulder pain more entrenched.
You've skipped workouts, social plans, even sleep because shoulder pain makes everything harder.
You worry this is just "getting older" - but shoulder pain at your age often has a treatable mechanical cause.
Previous providers rushed you through. Adjustments helped briefly, then the shoulder pain returned within days.
What changes when you get the right care
- Dr. Stubbs prescribes specific stretches and home protocols - many Central Austin chiropractors skip this step.
- Soft-tissue therapy complements adjustments - releasing muscle tension that keeps shoulder pain recurring.
- Postural and ergonomic coaching fits State of Texas desk setups - prevention built into treatment.
- Patients from 78701 often refer family members - the highest compliment in a community-focused practice.
What 78701 patients say
“Training for the Austin Marathon wrecked my IT band and low back. Sport-specific care got me to the start line. Any 78701 runner with shoulder pain should start here.”
“No upselling, no 36-visit packages upfront. Dr. Stubbs reassessed me at visit 6 and we adjusted the plan. That honesty is rare for shoulder pain care in Austin.”
“I commute from 78701 to Austin daily - my back was destroyed. Dr. Stubbs didn't just adjust me; he gave me exercises I still do. Shoulder Pain is manageable now.”

Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C. has served the Austin metro since 2010 - including thousands of Central Austin patients. His approach combines spinal manipulation with prescribed stretches and rehab protocols that many chiropractors omit.

Frequently asked questions
What should I expect at my first shoulder pain visit?+
Health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a frank discussion of findings. 78701 patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
Can chiropractic help with shoulder pain during pregnancy?+
Prenatal chiropractic is safe with proper technique. Webster Technique-certified care supports pelvic balance. Many Austin TX 78701 expectant mothers find relief for pregnancy-related back pain.
Do you accept new patients from 78701?+
Yes - we welcome new Austin TX 78701 patients for shoulder pain care. No referral needed. Book online 24/7 or call (512) 358-0325 for same-day availability.
Can I see a chiropractor if I have osteoporosis or osteopenia?+
Yes, with modified techniques. Dr. Stubbs uses gentler, low-force methods for 78701 patients with reduced bone density - avoiding high-velocity adjustments when indicated.
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 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 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.
