Sound familiar?
The unpredictability is worst - fine one day, debilitated the next. Vertigo doesn't follow a schedule.
You've been told it's "in your head" or "normal for your job." You know your body - something is wrong.
Your South Austin commute alone - about 12 minutes each way to our clinic, but hours daily on Shady Hollow Golf - compounds spinal stress.
Previous providers rushed you through. Adjustments helped briefly, then the vertigo returned within days.

- Most Shady Hollow patients report meaningful improvement within the first few weeks of vertigo treatment - not months of guessing.
- Lower long-term healthcare costs by addressing vertigo conservatively before it becomes chronic.
- Postural and ergonomic coaching fits your daily routine - prevention built into treatment.
- You get back to doing the things you stopped doing - without modifying your Shady Hollow life around the pain.
What Shady Hollow patients say
“Sciatica down my left leg - couldn't sit through meetings. Six visits and the shooting pain was gone. Shady Hollow friends: don't wait like I did.”
“Dr. Stubbs worked on several issues including my allergies - I left feeling awesome and immediately recommended him to my parents. If you have vertigo you can't shake in Shady Hollow, go see them.”
“Skeptical at first - I'd tried two other chiropractors for vertigo. Dr. Stubbs actually explained what was wrong and gave me a timeline. He was right.”
Why Shady Hollow trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics supports spinal manipulation for mechanical vertigo. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review found manipulation reduces pain and improves function compared to other treatments for acute conditions - the evidence base we follow at Optimal Wellness.
Vertigo & Dizziness Care in Shady Hollow, Austin TX
Technique selection varies by patient. For vertigo, 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. Shady Hollow patients over 60 often prefer gentler approaches, which we provide.
Clinical guidelines from the American Chiropractic Association support conservative care for mechanical vertigo before surgery or long-term medication. A typical Shady Hollow 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.
Your first visit for vertigo includes health history, postural photos, range-of-motion testing, and palpation. Shady Hollow patients leave with a written diagnosis, estimated visit count, and home care instructions - not a sales pitch for 36 prepaid visits.
Coordination with other providers strengthens outcomes. If your vertigo requires imaging, we refer to trusted Austin radiology partners. If physical therapy complements adjustment, we communicate with your PT. Shady Hollow patients benefit from a team approach, not siloed care.

Can I see a chiropractor if I have osteoporosis or osteopenia?+
Yes, with modified techniques. Dr. Stubbs uses gentler, low-force methods for Shady Hollow patients with reduced bone density - avoiding high-velocity adjustments when indicated.
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 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.
