Is chiropractic safe for work injury?+
When performed by a licensed chiropractor after proper evaluation, yes. Dr. Stubbs screens for contraindications at every Dripping Springs intake. Serious adverse events are extremely rare - significantly less common than complications from surgery or long-term NSAID use.
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+.
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.
