Welcome to Vital Chiro, Austin’s trusted chiropractor for wellness and pain relief.
Feel better, move stronger, and support your body’s natural healing.
Vital Chiropractic helps you move better, feel stronger, and support your nervous system so your body can work at its highest level. Dr. J starts by relieving neck, mid back, and low back pain with skilled adjustments and modern techniques that restore motion. From there, he builds long term strength through personalized exercises, posture guidance, and ergonomic support. With a background in voice and movement coaching, yoga, and personal training, he understands how the body works and how to keep it working well. When your spine moves the way it should, your nervous system communicates clearly, helping you heal, stay energized, and live a more vital life.
Our clients experience
“Dr. J was recommended to me by a friend because of lower back pain and inability. I was using crutches! I’ve been working with Dr. J ever since, and I’m happy to say I just got back from a long weekend in NYC and Philly. I rode on planes, trains, and automobiles, walked 8-miles a day and danced like there was no tomorrow and I feel great! Thanks Doc.”

“Really appreciate the incredible combination of competency, effectiveness, consideration, and partnership in my wellness. I came for overall maintenance as well as one chronic issue; in one month of treatments, I’ve seen remarked improvement in both.”
- Chris P.
“Dr. J was a lifesaver. I reached out to him explaining a debilitating pain and he adjusted (no pun intended) his schedule forwards and backwards to accommodate me ASAP. The highest level of thoroughness and professionalism in his treatment while still showing patience and compassion in his explanation.”
- C.K. C.
“No more pain and aches after a few adjustments. He's the real deal! He brings an awesome positive vibe about health that get's you thinking about many other aspects in life besides just the bones in your back. Love me some Dr. J!”

FAQs
-
At Vital Chiropractic, care is simple, clear, and centered on what actually works. You won’t find long treatment plans, sales pressure, or confusing jargon — just evidence-informed adjustments designed to help your body function better so you can get back to doing the things you love and live the life you’ve dreamed of.
-
Your first visit includes:
A detailed history
Posture assessment
Range of motion testing
Bilateral scales
Palpation
Right after the exam, you’ll get a clear explanation of what’s going on, what it means, and whether chiropractic care can help — all in one visit. No return appointment just to hear your results.
-
Not routinely. X-rays are only necessary if your history or exam findings indicate something that needs further investigation. Most patients do not need imaging before getting adjusted.
-
Your first visit typically takes 20–30 minutes, depending on your history. Follow-up treatments usually take 5–10 minutes, focusing on precise adjustments rather than drawn-out appointments.
-
Every patient is different, and so are your goals. Most people feel a noticeable change after 1–2 visits but need a series of adjustments to create lasting improvement. We’ll be sure to find out what your specific goals are and make a plan to meet those. And of course, we re-evaluate as we go and base care on your actual response.
-
Vital Chiropractic does not participate in Medicare and is non-participating with all insurance plans. This allows us to keep care simple, affordable, and transparent.
-
Yes — Medicare beneficiaries are welcome, but because we do not participate in Medicare, patients pay directly at the time of service. Medicare will not reimburse for these visits, and the adjustments must be Wellness type.
-
People come to Vital Chiropractic for help with:
Low back pain
Neck pain
Headaches
Mid-back pain
Sciatica
Shoulder or hip discomfort
Postural strain
Everyday stiffness from work or activity
Even if your issue isn’t on this list, we’ll let you know honestly whether chiropractic care can help or if a different provider would be a better fit.
-
Most adjustments are gentle and relieving. You may feel pressure or a quick release, but they should not be painful. If you prefer a certain style of adjustment — manual, low-force, no twisting, etc. — just let us know.
-
Yes — we enjoy taking care of kids and families. Adjustments are always modified to suit age, size, and comfort level.
-
No. You can schedule directly whenever you’re ready.
-
Wear something comfortable that allows easy movement. Most everyday clothing is perfectly fine.
-
Appointments are often available the same week — sometimes the same day. We keep scheduling flexible so you can get care when you need it.
-
Yes. At Vital Chiropractic, we strongly believe that regular, consistent chiropractic care plays an important role in long-term health and function. Many patients find they move better, feel better, recover faster, and handle life’s stresses more effectively when they make adjustments part of their wellness routine — just like exercise, good sleep, and healthy nutrition.
There’s never pressure to continue care, but we do encourage wellness visits because we’ve seen firsthand that patients who stay proactive generally experience fewer flare-ups, greater mobility, and better overall well-being.
