Inflammation often accompanies shoulder pain. Our nutrition guidance - available to all Austin TX 78738 patients - addresses dietary triggers that slow healing. Anti-inflammatory eating isn't a replacement for adjustment, but it accelerates recovery when combined.
The spine protects the nervous system - the communication highway between your brain and every organ, muscle, and cell. When vertebrae misalign or discs bulge, nerve signals degrade and shoulder pain follows. For Austin TX 78738 patients, common triggers include commuting on Lake Travis, and the active west austin lifestyle.

What are red flags for chiropractors?+
Red flags include requiring long-term prepaid contracts, guaranteeing cures for non-musculoskeletal conditions, taking X-rays unnecessarily before an exam, discouraging medical referrals, and high-pressure sales tactics at the first visit. At Optimal Wellness, Dr. James Stubbs Jr. explains each treatment step and reassesses your plan every 4–6 visits - no prepaid packages.
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 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.
