Frequently asked questions
Can a chiropractor actually help with whiplash?+
Yes - for mechanical whiplash caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates 78747 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 treat children for whiplash?+
Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many 78747 families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.
What should I expect at my first whiplash visit?+
Health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a frank discussion of findings. 78747 patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
How is your clinic different from other South Austin chiropractors?+
One doctor who knows your history. Integrated rehab exercises. No prepaid visit packages. Honest reassessment every 4–6 visits. 78747 patients choose us for quality over convenience - though we're about 18 minutes away.
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 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.
What are red flags for chiropractors?+
Red flags include requiring long-term prepaid contracts, guaranteeing cures for non-musculoskeletal conditions, taking X-rays unnecessarily before an exam, discouraging medical referrals, and high-pressure sales tactics at the first visit. At Optimal Wellness, Dr. James Stubbs Jr. explains each treatment step and reassesses your plan every 4–6 visits - no prepaid packages.
