Frequently asked questions
Is there parking at your clinic for Leander patients?+
Free parking directly in front of our William Cannon office. Wheelchair accessible entrance. No garage fees or validation needed - unlike downtown Austin clinics.
Do you offer same-day appointments near Leander?+
Same-day availability is standard on Mon/Wed/Thu. Call (512) 358-0325 early - about 45 minutes from Leander.
Can I see a chiropractor if I have osteoporosis or osteopenia?+
Yes, with modified techniques. Dr. Stubbs uses gentler, low-force methods for Leander patients with reduced bone density - avoiding high-velocity adjustments when indicated.
What should I expect at my first shoulder pain visit?+
Health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a frank discussion of findings. Leander patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
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 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.
