Sound familiar?
Medication takes the edge off, but you know it's not fixing anything - and the side effects aren't worth it long-term.
SoCo retail workers stand on concrete floors 8+ hours - plantar fasciitis and low back pain are occupational. That reality hits home when work injury keeps you from doing what you love.
Previous providers rushed you through. Adjustments helped briefly, then the work injury returned within days.
The fear of surgery looms every time the pain spikes - but you're not ready to go that route without exhausting conservative options.
What changes when you get the right care
- Most South Congress patients report meaningful improvement within the first few weeks of work injury treatment - not months of guessing.
- Thorough first-visit evaluation means you leave knowing exactly what's causing your work injury and what the plan is.
- Drug-free care means no dependency, no side effects - just restored function.
- Auto injury and workers' comp documentation handled properly when work injury follows an incident.
What South Congress patients say
“I commute from South Congress to Austin daily - my back was destroyed. Dr. Stubbs didn't just adjust me; he gave me exercises I still do. Work Injury is manageable now.”
“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.”
“I appreciated that Dr. Stubbs told me what to expect - how many visits, what each would involve. No mystery billing for work injury care.”

Can I book online if I live in South Congress?+
Yes - book 24/7 at our online scheduling portal. New South Congress, Austin TX patients welcome. You'll receive confirmation and intake forms by email before your visit.
Can I see a chiropractor if I have osteoporosis or osteopenia?+
Yes, with modified techniques. Dr. Stubbs uses gentler, low-force methods for South Congress patients with reduced bone density - avoiding high-velocity adjustments when indicated.
Should I see a chiropractor or my primary doctor first for work injury?+
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 work injury, South Congress patients can book directly with us.
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 do chiropractors cost for back pain in Texas?+
In Texas, back-pain visits typically run $60–$120 without insurance; initial exams $75–$125. Austin trends slightly higher. At Optimal Wellness on William Cannon, we provide a written estimate at your first visit - initial evaluations $75–$125, follow-ups $50–$75. HSA/FSA accepted.
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.
