For sports injury, Dr. Stubbs may use diversified manual adjustments, instrument-assisted methods, flexion-distraction for disc issues, or drop-table techniques - always matched to your age, condition severity, and comfort level. Dripping Springs patients over 60 often prefer gentler approaches, which we provide.
