What Bee Cave patients say
“I commute from Bee Cave to Austin daily - my back was destroyed. Dr. Stubbs didn't just adjust me; he gave me exercises I still do. Wellness is manageable now.”
“No upselling, no 36-visit packages upfront. Dr. Stubbs reassessed me at visit 6 and we adjusted the plan. That honesty is rare for wellness care in Austin.”
“When I moved to Austin I was sure no chiropractor could compare to my DC. Dr. Stubbs filled the void and then some - quality wellness care plus stretches and rehab for weak areas. He always makes time and calls to check up. I'd recommend him to anyone in Bee Cave.”
Why Bee Cave trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Optimal Wellness & Chiropractic is independently owned - not a franchise. Clinical decisions for Bee Cave patients are made by Dr. Stubbs based on your exam, not a corporate treatment script.
Wellness Care in Bee Cave, TX
Safety is paramount. Dr. Stubbs performs orthopedic and neurological screening at every Bee Cave intake. Contraindications - fracture, infection, cauda equina symptoms - are referred immediately. For the vast majority of wellness cases, gentle chiropractic is among the safest conservative options available.
Your first visit for wellness includes health history, postural photos, range-of-motion testing, and palpation. Bee Cave patients leave with a written diagnosis, estimated visit count, and home care instructions - not a sales pitch for 36 prepaid visits.
Inflammation often accompanies wellness. Our nutrition guidance - available to all Bee Cave, TX patients - addresses dietary triggers that slow healing. Anti-inflammatory eating isn't a replacement for adjustment, but it accelerates recovery when combined.

Frequently asked questions
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 Bee Cave, TX patients.
Can a chiropractor actually help with wellness?+
Yes - for mechanical wellness caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates Bee Cave patients with orthopedic and neurological testing before treatment. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review supports spinal manipulation for acute pain. If your case isn't appropriate for chiropractic, we'll say so and refer you.
Do you offer same-day appointments near Bee Cave?+
Same-day availability is standard on Mon/Wed/Thu. Call (512) 358-0325 early - about 25 minutes from Bee Cave.
What are your office hours for Bee Cave patients?+

Can a chiropractor prescribe prednisone?+
No. Chiropractors in Texas are not licensed to prescribe medications, including prednisone. Chiropractic is drug-free by design. In Texas, only MDs, DOs, nurse practitioners, and PAs with prescriptive authority can prescribe pharmaceuticals. Dr. Stubbs focuses on spinal adjustment, soft-tissue therapy, and rehab exercises instead.
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 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+.
