Sound familiar?
Every specialist in Travis County seems to pass you along. Nobody owns the full picture of your work injury.
You're tired of being told to "just rest" when rest alone hasn't changed anything in weeks.
The fear of surgery looms every time the pain spikes - but you're not ready to go that route without exhausting conservative options.
Previous providers rushed you through. Adjustments helped briefly, then the work injury returned within days.
What changes when you get the right care
- Flexible hours - Monday 7:30 AM, Thursday until 6:30 PM - accommodate South Austin work schedules.
- Reduced inflammation and improved nerve signaling - the downstream effects of proper spinal alignment.
- Dr. Stubbs prescribes specific stretches and home protocols - many South Austin chiropractors skip this step.
- We document progress objectively so you can see improvement, not just feel it vaguely.
What South Austin patients say
“I tried clinics closer to Round Rock but the quality wasn't there. I drive to William Cannon from South Austin because results matter more than convenience.”
“Prenatal care was gentle and effective - but I stayed after delivery for work injury too. The whole family sees Dr. Stubbs now, even from South Austin.”
“Sciatica down my left leg - couldn't sit through meetings. Six visits and the shooting pain was gone. South Austin friends: don't wait like I did.”
Why South Austin trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C. has served the Austin metro since 2010 - including thousands of South Austin patients. His approach combines spinal manipulation with prescribed stretches and rehab protocols that many chiropractors omit. For work injury, that integration matters: adjustments restore mobility, but strengthening prevents recurrence.

Work Injury care for South Austin, TX
South Austin's roads and your spine
Ben White Boulevard (US-290) and the I-35 interchange rank among Travis County's highest crash-volume corridors. Rear-end collisions at Ben White/I-35 generate lumbar and cervical injuries that often surface 48–72 hours later. William Cannon Drive and Slaughter Lane add commuter crush from Tesla Gigafactory traffic - the exact patient demographic Dr. Stubbs treats from our clinic at 3421 W William Cannon Dr.
Desk workers and tradespeople in 78704, 78745, and 78748

Texas allows employers to opt out of workers' comp (Labor Code §406.002); our clinic handles non-subscriber injury documentation.

Frequently asked questions
Is chiropractic safe for work injury?+
When performed by a licensed chiropractor after proper evaluation, yes. Dr. Stubbs screens for contraindications at every South Austin intake. Serious adverse events are extremely rare - significantly less common than complications from surgery or long-term NSAID use.
Do you treat work injury after a car accident?+
Yes. Auto injury documentation is handled properly for Texas personal injury claims. South Austin accident victims should seek evaluation within 72 hours - even if pain is delayed.
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 South Austin 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.
Is there parking at your clinic for South Austin patients?+
Free parking directly in front of our William Cannon office. Wheelchair accessible entrance. No garage fees or validation needed - unlike downtown Austin clinics.
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 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.
