Dr. Stubbs, aka Dr.James, has a friendly yet professional demeanor & is very knowledgeable. He not only gives me chiropractic adjustments, but assigns physical therapy exercises for me to do at home as well in his office to help improve my posture, therefore improving my chronic pain. His prices are reasonable and his location is convenient. I definitely recommend Dr. James! read more

I started with doctor James about 8 weeks ago and have continuously felt better and better since I started. Working with him my pain has been reduced and my range of motion increased. I highly recommend him as a caring and compassionate professional. read more

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Stubbs since ~2015. He has done an amazing job of treating a wide range of pain related ailments. He is always able to see us on short notice and alleviate our pain with a few visits. However, due to years of high impact extracurriculars such as mountain biking, football injuries, etc. coupled with lack of stretching, I manage to acquire a new injury or re-injure myself at least once per year. Because Dr. Stubbs has been so effective and easy to work with, he will remain our go-to chiropractor for years to come. Thanks Dr. Stubbs!!! read more

Five stars for this place! Dr. James Stubbs is super knowledgeable and helpful. I appreciate how my wellness plan is modified to my individual back issues. Physical therapy is incorporated with the adjustments, which has worked really well. I've noticed a huge improvement in the past 5 months since I've started working with him. Another plus is that scheduling is flexible! read more

Best chiropractor I've been to! Very knowledgeable and caring. Always open to fit me in for an appointment :) read more

My previous ankle sprain had been causing me problems so I went to Dr. Stubbs to see what he could do for me. He was great to work with and was able to work on several issues I was having as well as my ALLERGIES! I left his office feeling awesome and immediately recommended him to my parents who both now go to him as well! If you have any aches and pains that you can't seem to shake, go see them! read more

dr Stubbs completely fixed my back and neck from old old injuries

I started going to Dr James when I was 4 months pregnant. His adjustments REALLY helped me get thru the leg/hip and back pain during the later months. I know going to him during and after the pregnancy allowed my body to bounce back quicker. I also love that he incorporates physical therapy with his adjustments. That is a bonus that I haven't gotten from other Chiropractors I have been to. read more

I just want say thank you Dr. Stubbs! I have been in some intense pain and I feel so much better! I really love when you can feel that someone cares. He is very knowledgeable and can feel right away what's going on! I especially appreciated the thorough testing. Optimal Wellness is a beautiful space,very clean and an area for stretching afterwards!! I highly recommend you go and check it out if you're in need of a chiropractor! I won't be going to any other. So glad I finally went in! Thanks again SO MUCH!!! read more

I highly recommend this doctor! Dr. James is one of the best chiropractors that I have been to. He does a full evaluation of everything for new patients. He also explained and answered and questions and concerns that I had. He has never been rushed during any of my appointments, and he truly does care about each and everyone of his patients. Not only does he do an adjustment, but he also assigns personal stretches and exercises that he will actually do with you the first few times. He also has a personal plan for me, my hips have never felt better! Even if you don't believe in chiropractors please visit Optimal Wellness! read more

My favorite chiropractor in all of Austin! Most chiropractic appointments at other places consist only of spinal manipulation. That doesn't work for me because the adjustment slips right back out without any extra physical therapy or muscle work. Dr. James knows this won't yield great results either, and after my adjustment I do exercises and stretches that supplement the adjustment. My back and neck pain has been constant my whole life, but Dr. James has been the only chiropractor I have found in Austin (and I have been to a handful of others) that has been able to keep it manageable. Go see him! read more

Dr. Stubbs is an amazing Chiropractor! I was in a car accident a few months ago and ended up getting whiplash. I found Dr. Stubbs through yelp and made an appointment right away. My first appointment was very informative, he introduced himself, had me watch a video and take pictures of my posture to see what was wrong with my neck and walked me through what we would be working to fix. Dr. Stubbs worked with my schedule and was flexible with visits. I had the best experience, learned a lot about muscles, and felt so much better in a short amount of time! Dr. Stubbs really cares about his patients and always listens to any concerns! read more

Great service. James is a true professional. Definitely recommend him. I've been been going to him for over 5 years and he takes care of my wife as well. read more

We love Dr. Stubbs! His adjustments have helped my lower back pain tremendously and our family will continue to trust his expertise. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and professional...plus, his office is a very peaceful & healthy atmosphere. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Stubbs on a weekly basis for almost a year now. I came to him with back pain that I had been dealing with for years due to lifting my daughter (85 lbs.) and her wheelchair. After a month or so of adjustments, the pain began to diminish greatly. I would say it took a month or two for the pain to subside. That's a short amount of time considering I'd been misusing and injuring my body for years. The pain is a distant memory now. It's life changing not to have to deal with back pain or, at the very least, know that I can seek relief through adjustments. My 13 yr. old has also started going with me occasionally. She has been dancing and doing acrobatics for a couple of years. She experiences soreness/minor pains at times. Dr. Stubbs takes the time to explain where the pain is coming from and exercises or other methods to prevent serious injury. Since she is planning to continue dancing for years, I am so glad she is keeping her body healthy with adjustments. She is gaining awareness and knowledge of how to listen to her body and what she needs to do to prevent avoidable injuries. I also got back into pilates recently. My experience with pilates prior and post chiropractic care have totally encouraged me to continue with Dr. Stubbs. When my body is out of alignment, I find I have to compensate to do a pilates move properly. The difference is night and day. Prior to chiropractic care, there were even certain moves I simply wasn't able to do without lower back pain so I had to avoid them. That is just not the case now. Pilates and chiropractic care are a fantastic combo. I highly recommend Dr. Stubbs. read more

Anyone who knows me, knows my favorite doctor is my chiropractor. I had a fantastic chiropractor in DC, so when I moved to Austin I was sure no one could compare. Dr. James Stubbs has filled the void and then some. He performs quality chiropractic care in addition to prescribing stretches and rehab for my weak areas which many chiropractors don't do. Additionally, Dr. Stubbs always makes time in his busy schedule to see me and calls to check-up on me if he hasn't seen me in a while. Overall, I find Dr. Stubbs to be a thorough, caring, and superior chiropractor whom I would recommend to anyone. read more

I started seeing Dr James about a month ago due to issues with frequent migraine headaches . I'm currently pregnant and had never seen a chiropractor before so was nervous to go see someone . I'm so glad I made the decision to go see Dr James because after a month of being seen I am already feeling so much better . Before I was having debilitating headaches about 3-4 days a week. Now I'm able to function and even if I get a headache it is not nearly as bad as what it was before . Dr James does an excellent job of explaining the science behind chiropractic treatment and the rationale behind his interventions . Scheduling with him is always easy and he always seems genuinely invested in my progress . I would highly recommend him to anyone considering chiropractic treatment ! read more

I was totally one of those, "I already do everything right - how much better can I actually feel" clients. I ate well, exercised, wasn't in any chromic pain, but went to check out Dr. James after so many great referrals. Amazing experience (so informative, so friendly, and the insights from his testing were things I'd wondered for years), and amazing results after just one visit. He knows what he's doing and is a true healer all around. If you need a Chiro, go see him. If you don't think you need one, go see him. read more

My husband and I both love and believe in Dr. Stubbs. He's knowledgable and trustworthy. He personalizes our treatments to suit individual needs. I'm currently pregnant and trust him implicitly. Most importantly, when I leave, i feel 100% better than when i arrived. read more

Dr. James helped me with persistent, chronic tennis elbow and I couldn't be happier! I had been in pain for years and was ready to give up and just accept that I would either have to live with it or give up the sport I loved. Dr. James discovered the problem (my neck and shoulder), treated both, and I'm happy to say I'm 100% pain free!! Amazing!! I highly recommend Dr. James and Optimal Wellness & Chiropractic! read more

Dr. James is very knowledgeable and helpful.

The environment is very relaxing and Dr. James always makes it fun with his great conversation! Most importantly, I feel better than I have in years! read more
