Sound familiar?
East Austin service industry workers stand 10+ hours - lumbar and foot pain are occupational. That reality hits home when work injury keeps you from doing what you love.
Co-workers in East Austin don't see what you deal with after hours: the stiffness, the fatigue, the frustration.
Night pain disrupts sleep, and poor sleep makes work injury worse. It's a cycle East Austin residents know too well.
Your East Austin commute alone - about 18 minutes each way to our clinic, but hours daily on East 6th - compounds spinal stress.
What changes when you get the right care
- You get back to doing the things you stopped doing - without modifying your East Austin life around the pain.
- A single provider who knows your history - not a rotating cast of associates who re-read your chart each visit.
- Reduced inflammation and improved nerve signaling - the downstream effects of proper spinal alignment.
- Better sleep as work injury decreases - patients consistently report this within the first month.

“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 East Austin.”
“I appreciated that Dr. Stubbs told me what to expect - how many visits, what each would involve. No mystery billing for work injury care.”
“Training for the Austin Marathon wrecked my IT band and low back. Sport-specific care got me to the start line. Any East Austin runner with work injury should start here.”

Frequently asked questions
Do you provide documentation for workers' comp work injury claims?+
Yes. Proper diagnosis coding and progress notes for every visit. Workers from East Austin receive complete documentation.
Do you treat children for work injury?+
Yes - pediatric techniques are gentler and age-appropriate. Many East Austin families bring children for posture, sports injuries, and wellness checks.
What should I expect at my first work injury visit?+
Health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a frank discussion of findings. East Austin patients typically receive treatment on the first visit if appropriate. Plan for 45–60 minutes.
Do you treat work injury after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. East Austin accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
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.
Can a chiropractor actually help with back pain?+
Yes, for mechanical low back pain caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or disc pressure. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review found spinal manipulation reduces pain and improves function. Dr. Stubbs evaluates every patient with orthopedic and neurological testing before treatment - and tells you honestly if chiropractic isn't the right fit.
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+.
