Frequently asked questions
How much does wellness chiropractic cost in Texas?+
Initial evaluations typically run $75–$125; follow-up visits $50–$75. Many PPO insurance plans cover chiropractic. 78731 patients receive a written estimate at the first visit. HSA/FSA accepted.
Can I book online if I live in 78731?+

What's the difference between chiropractic and physical therapy for wellness?+
Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and joint mobility; PT emphasizes exercise and functional movement. Dr. Stubbs integrates rehab exercises into wellness care - combining both approaches for Austin TX 78731 patients.
Is chiropractic safe for wellness?+
When performed by a licensed chiropractor after proper evaluation, yes. Dr. Stubbs screens for contraindications at every 78731 intake. Serious adverse events are extremely rare - significantly less common than complications from surgery or long-term NSAID use.
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.
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 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+.
