Night pain disrupts sleep, and poor sleep makes vertigo worse. It's a cycle San Marcos residents know too well.

What San Marcos patients say
“Training for the Austin Marathon wrecked my IT band and low back. Sport-specific care got me to the start line. Any San Marcos runner with vertigo should start here.”
“Worth the drive from San Marcos. Dr. Stubbs combines adjustment with rehab - my shoulder impingement improved when others just cracked my back.”
“Whiplash after a fender-bender - symptoms showed up 3 days later. Dr. Stubbs documented everything for insurance and my vertigo resolved in 8 weeks.”
Why San Marcos trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Patient outcomes drive our reputation in Hays County. Lauren K., a Circle C patient, notes: "Dr. Stubbs performs quality chiropractic care in addition to prescribing stretches and rehab for my weak areas which many chiropractors don't do." That rehab integration is central to vertigo recovery.

Frequently asked questions
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 San Marcos, TX patients.
Do you treat vertigo after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. San Marcos accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
How far is Optimal Wellness from San Marcos?+
Our clinic at 3421 W William Cannon Dr #145, Austin TX 78745 is about 35 minutes from San Marcos. Most San Marcos, TX patients reach us via Texas State University without entering downtown Austin.
Do you treat children for vertigo?+
Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many San Marcos families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.
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.
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+.
