Frequently asked questions
Do you offer same-day appointments near Central Round Rock?+
Same-day availability is standard on Mon/Wed/Thu. Call (512) 358-0325 early - about 40 minutes from Central Round Rock.
What should I expect at my first whiplash visit?+
Health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a frank discussion of findings. Central Round Rock patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
Can a chiropractor actually help with whiplash?+
Yes - for mechanical whiplash caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates Central Round Rock 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.
Should I see a chiropractor or my primary doctor first for whiplash?+
Either works - no referral required for chiropractic in Texas. If you have red-flag symptoms (fever, unexplained weight loss, bowel/bladder changes), see your MD first. For mechanical whiplash, Central Round Rock patients can book directly with us.
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+.
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.
How much does a chiropractor cost in Texas?+
In Texas, chiropractic visits typically cost $30–$200 per session without insurance. Initial exams run $75–$125; follow-ups $50–$75. Austin prices trend slightly higher due to cost of living. At Optimal Wellness on William Cannon, we provide a written estimate at your first visit - no surprise billing.
