What Del Valle patients say
“Dr. Stubbs worked on several issues including my allergies - I left feeling awesome and immediately recommended him to my parents. If you have trigger point you can't shake in Del Valle, go see them.”
“After a car accident left me with constant neck pain, Dr. Stubbs created a plan that actually worked. He always makes time and genuinely cares. I'm finally back to living without trigger point.”

Why Del Valle trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C. has served the Austin metro since 2010 - including thousands of East Austin patients. His approach combines spinal manipulation with prescribed stretches and rehab protocols that many chiropractors omit. For trigger point, that integration matters: adjustments restore mobility, but strengthening prevents recurrence.
Trigger Point Therapy in Del Valle, TX
Pediatric, prenatal, and geriatric trigger point cases require modified techniques. Dr. Stubbs adjusts force, positioning, and frequency based on life stage - critical for Del Valle families who want one trusted provider for multiple generations.
Your first visit for trigger point includes health history, postural photos, range-of-motion testing, and palpation. Del Valle patients leave with a written diagnosis, estimated visit count, and home care instructions - not a sales pitch for 36 prepaid visits.
Maintenance care after trigger point resolves is optional but recommended for Del Valle 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.
Auto injury and workers' comp cases involving trigger point require meticulous documentation. Texas's 2-year personal injury statute of limitations means prompt care creates the medical record your attorney needs. Del Valle accident victims: seek evaluation within 72 hours even if pain is mild.

Is chiropractic safe for trigger point?+
When performed by a licensed chiropractor after proper evaluation, yes. Dr. Stubbs screens for contraindications at every Del Valle intake. Serious adverse events are extremely rare - significantly less common than complications from surgery or long-term NSAID use.
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.
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+.
