Frequently asked questions
How far is Optimal Wellness from 78737?+
Our clinic at 3421 W William Cannon Dr #145, Austin TX 78745 is about 20 minutes from 78737. Most Austin TX 78737 patients reach us via Travis County Expo without entering downtown Austin.
What's the difference between chiropractic and physical therapy for trigger point?+
Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and joint mobility; PT emphasizes exercise and functional movement. Dr. Stubbs integrates rehab exercises into trigger point care - combining both approaches for Austin TX 78737 patients.
What should I expect at my first trigger point visit?+
Health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a frank discussion of findings. 78737 patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
Can a chiropractor actually help with trigger point?+
Yes - for mechanical trigger point caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates 78737 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.
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 help with cortisol levels?+
Chiropractic may indirectly support stress response by reducing sympathetic nervous system activation - which elevates cortisol during chronic pain. Spinal adjustments and soft-tissue therapy reduce pain-related stress. Dr. Stubbs focuses on mechanical relief; for hormone concerns, we coordinate with your medical provider.
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.
