Medication takes the edge off, but you know it's not fixing anything - and the side effects aren't worth it long-term.

What Buda patients say
“I came in for chronic migraines I'd dealt with for years. The gentle, thorough approach changed everything. For Buda residents dealing with wellness, this is the real deal.”
“Prenatal care was gentle and effective - but I stayed after delivery for wellness too. The whole family sees Dr. Stubbs now, even from Buda.”

Why Buda trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics supports spinal manipulation for mechanical wellness. 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.
