Sound familiar?
You're tired of being told to "just rest" when rest alone hasn't changed anything in weeks.
The fear of surgery looms every time the pain spikes - but you're not ready to go that route without exhausting conservative options.
Simple tasks - lifting a bag, turning your head, standing from a chair - trigger sports injury you didn't used to have.
Stress from sports injury affects your mood, your patience, your relationships. It's not "just physical."

What 78702 patients say
“Prenatal care was gentle and effective - but I stayed after delivery for sports injury too. The whole family sees Dr. Stubbs now, even from 78702.”
“Worth the drive from 78702. Dr. Stubbs combines adjustment with rehab - my shoulder impingement improved when others just cracked my back.”
“Training for the Austin Marathon wrecked my IT band and low back. Sport-specific care got me to the start line. Any 78702 runner with sports injury should start here.”
Why 78702 trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
78702's restaurant and service industry workers stand and lift for hours - back and foot pain are occupational hazards. Dr. Stubbs understands the specific occupational and recreational stressors that drive sports injury in 78702 - not generic advice copied from a textbook.
Sports Injury Care in Austin TX 78702
Maintenance care after sports injury resolves is optional but recommended for 78702 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.
What distinguishes our approach for sports injury? Integration. Spinal adjustments restore joint mobility. Soft-tissue therapy releases muscle tension that pulls vertebrae out of alignment. Corrective exercises stabilize the area so 78702 patients don't return every few weeks with the same complaint.
Inflammation often accompanies sports injury. Our nutrition guidance - available to all Austin TX 78702 patients - addresses dietary triggers that slow healing. Anti-inflammatory eating isn't a replacement for adjustment, but it accelerates recovery when combined.
Sports Injury Care at Optimal Wellness & Chiropractic begins with understanding why 78702 residents develop sports injury in the first place. 78702's restaurant and service industry workers stand and lift for hours - back and foot pain are occupational hazards. Dr. James Stubbs Jr. evaluates posture, spinal alignment, nerve function, and movement patterns before recommending any treatment - because sports injury without a diagnosis is guesswork.

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, 78702 patients can book directly with us.
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+.
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 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.
