Why 78705 trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Unlike high-volume clinics, Dr. Stubbs limits daily appointments so Austin TX 78705 patients receive unhurried evaluations. Each trigger point case gets a specific plan with a defined reassessment point - typically every 4–6 visits.
Trigger Point Therapy in Austin TX 78705
Your first visit for trigger point includes health history, postural photos, range-of-motion testing, and palpation. 78705 patients leave with a written diagnosis, estimated visit count, and home care instructions - not a sales pitch for 36 prepaid visits.
Clinical guidelines from the American Chiropractic Association support conservative care for mechanical trigger point before surgery or long-term medication. A typical 78705 treatment plan includes 2–3 visits per week during the acute phase, tapering as symptoms improve - with reassessment every 4–6 visits to ensure progress.
Technique selection varies by patient. For trigger point, 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. 78705 patients over 60 often prefer gentler approaches, which we provide.
Coordination with other providers strengthens outcomes. If your trigger point requires imaging, we refer to trusted Austin radiology partners. If physical therapy complements adjustment, we communicate with your PT. 78705 patients benefit from a team approach, not siloed care.
