Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between chiropractic and physical therapy for whiplash?+
Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment and joint mobility; PT emphasizes exercise and functional movement. Dr. Stubbs integrates rehab exercises into whiplash care - combining both approaches for Austin TX 78735 patients.
How is your clinic different from other West Austin chiropractors?+
One doctor who knows your history. Integrated rehab exercises. No prepaid visit packages. Honest reassessment every 4–6 visits. 78735 patients choose us for quality over convenience - though we're about 12 minutes away.
Do you treat whiplash after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. 78735 accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
Do you treat children for whiplash?+
Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many 78735 families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.
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 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 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.
