Frequently asked questions
Can I see a chiropractor if I have osteoporosis or osteopenia?+
Yes, with modified techniques. Dr. Stubbs uses gentler, low-force methods for Downtown Austin patients with reduced bone density - avoiding high-velocity adjustments when indicated.
Do you treat vertigo after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. Downtown Austin accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
What's the difference between chiropractic and physical therapy for vertigo?+
Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and joint mobility; PT emphasizes exercise and functional movement. Dr. Stubbs integrates rehab exercises into vertigo care - combining both approaches for Downtown Austin, TX patients.
What should I expect at my first vertigo visit?+
Health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a frank discussion of findings. Downtown Austin patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
Can chiropractors help blood flow?+
Yes - adjustments may improve circulation by reducing nerve interference and muscle tension that restrict blood flow. Spinal manipulation decreases sympathetic nervous system activity, which relaxes blood vessels. Soft-tissue work and postural correction complement this for Austin patients dealing with tension-related restriction.
What are red flags for chiropractors?+
Red flags include requiring long-term prepaid contracts, guaranteeing cures for non-musculoskeletal conditions, taking X-rays unnecessarily before an exam, discouraging medical referrals, and high-pressure sales tactics at the first visit. At Optimal Wellness, Dr. James Stubbs Jr. explains each treatment step and reassesses your plan every 4–6 visits - no prepaid packages.
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.
