What Manor patients say
“When I moved to Austin I was sure no chiropractor could compare to my DC. Dr. Stubbs filled the void and then some - quality sports injury care plus stretches and rehab for weak areas. He always makes time and calls to check up. I'd recommend him to anyone in Manor.”
“My whole family drives from Manor - about 30 minutes - because we trust Dr. Stubbs. He remembers our names and our histories.”
“No upselling, no 36-visit packages upfront. Dr. Stubbs reassessed me at visit 6 and we adjusted the plan. That honesty is rare for sports injury care in Austin.”
Why Manor trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.

Sports Injury Care in Manor, TX
Maintenance care after sports injury resolves is optional but recommended for Manor residents with physically demanding jobs or recurring patterns. Monthly check-ups catch small issues before they become debilitating - the same philosophy as dental cleanings for spinal health.
Pediatric, prenatal, and geriatric sports injury cases require modified techniques. Dr. Stubbs adjusts force, positioning, and frequency based on life stage - critical for Manor families who want one trusted provider for multiple generations.

Affordable housing and Samsung-adjacent employment. Our clinic sits at the geographic center of South Austin's growth corridor, making us accessible to Manor without fighting downtown traffic.

When vertebrae misalign or discs bulge, nerve signals degrade and sports injury follows. For Manor, TX patients, common triggers include long hours at Samsung Austin Semiconductor, commuting on Manor Express, and the active east austin lifestyle.

Frequently asked questions
Can a chiropractor actually help with sports injury?+
Yes - for mechanical sports injury caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates Manor 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.
Should I see a chiropractor or my primary doctor first for sports injury?+
Either works - no referral required for chiropractic in Texas. If you have red-flag symptoms (fever, unexplained weight loss, bowel/bladder changes), see your MD first. For mechanical sports injury, Manor patients can book directly with us.
How much does sports injury chiropractic cost in Texas?+
Initial evaluations typically run $75–$125; follow-up visits $50–$75. Many PPO insurance plans cover chiropractic. Manor patients receive a written estimate at the first visit. HSA/FSA accepted.
Do you treat children for sports injury?+
Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many Manor families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.
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 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 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.
