- Better sleep as work injury decreases - patients consistently report this within the first month.
What 78702 patients say
“Skeptical at first - I'd tried two other chiropractors for work injury. Dr. Stubbs actually explained what was wrong and gave me a timeline. He was right.”
“Headaches 4x/week for two years. Cervical adjustments plus muscle work cut them to once a month. Life-changing for a 78702 professional.”
“Sciatica down my left leg - couldn't sit through meetings. Six visits and the shooting pain was gone. 78702 friends: don't wait like I did.”
Why 78702 trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.

Frequently asked questions
Can a chiropractor actually help with work injury?+
Yes - for mechanical work injury caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates 78702 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 provide documentation for workers' comp work injury claims?+
Yes. Proper diagnosis coding and progress notes for every visit. Workers from 78702 receive complete documentation.
How far is Optimal Wellness from 78702?+
Our clinic at 3421 W William Cannon Dr #145, Austin TX 78745 is about 18 minutes from 78702. Most Austin TX 78702 patients reach us via East 6th Street without entering downtown Austin.
Do you treat children for work injury?+
Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many 78702 families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.
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.
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 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+.
