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.
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.

Can a chiropractor prescribe prednisone?+
No. Chiropractors in Texas are not licensed to prescribe medications, including prednisone. Chiropractic is drug-free by design.
