What Cedar Park patients say
“When I moved to Austin I was sure no chiropractor could compare to my DC. Dr. Stubbs filled the void and then some - quality work injury care plus stretches and rehab for weak areas. He always makes time and calls to check up. I'd recommend him to anyone in Cedar Park.”
“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 commute from Cedar Park 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.”

Work Injury Care in Cedar Park, TX
Maintenance care after work injury resolves is optional but recommended for Cedar Park residents with physically demanding jobs or recurring patterns. Monthly check-ups catch small issues before they become debilitating - the same philosophy as dental cleanings for spinal health.
Technology neck - forward head posture from phones and monitors - is epidemic in Metro. It contributes directly to work injury for many Cedar Park patients. Ergonomic coaching is part of treatment, not an afterthought.
Pediatric, prenatal, and geriatric work injury cases require modified techniques. Dr. Stubbs adjusts force, positioning, and frequency based on life stage - critical for Cedar Park families who want one trusted provider for multiple generations.
Inflammation often accompanies work injury. Our nutrition guidance - available to all Cedar Park, TX patients - addresses dietary triggers that slow healing. Anti-inflammatory eating isn't a replacement for adjustment, but it accelerates recovery when combined.

Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. Cedar Park accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
Can chiropractic help with work injury during pregnancy?+
Prenatal chiropractic is safe with proper technique. Webster Technique-certified care supports pelvic balance. Many Cedar Park, TX expectant mothers find relief for pregnancy-related back pain.

How many visits will I need for work injury?+
Acute work injury typically responds in 6–12 visits over 4–8 weeks. Chronic cases may need longer. Dr. Stubbs gives a specific estimate at your first Cedar Park visit and reassesses every 4–6 visits.
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+.
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 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.
