Inflammation often accompanies whiplash. Our nutrition guidance - available to all Austin TX 78745 patients - addresses dietary triggers that slow healing. Anti-inflammatory eating isn't a replacement for adjustment, but it accelerates recovery when combined.

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.
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.
