What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractors diagnose and treat and help with the prevention of musculoskeletal conditions and work on the effects of these issues on the nervous system. They are able to treat a wide range of conditions, such as back and neck pain and headaches. They do this through the manipulation of the spine and associated joints, which at times may produce an audible ‘pop’ or ‘crack’.

What conditions can Chiropractors treat?

Chiropractors are able to treat a wide range of conditions that are related to musculoskeletal injuries. Most notably for veterans, chiropractors can work on;

  • Back Pain
  • Neck Pain
  • Sciatic Pain
  • Migraine Treatment

How Do Chiro’s Work?

When a veteran attends for a chiro appointment, they will likely go through a screening process where the practitioner will take a detailed health history, and rule out contraindications for manual manipulations of the musculoskeletal system. The Chiropractor may request X-Ray imaging to help have a detailed view of the spine to assess any visible issues that might be underlying in the veteran. Generally, the veteran is of reasonable health and the chiropractor will perform a soft-tissue manipulation (massage) and manual manipulation of the spine. 

A course of treatments may be recommended to help hasten the recovery process and this will be determined if it’s clinically relevant.

Who is eligible to access Chiropractic?

Veterans who have a clinical need and hold Gold Card will be able to access a chiropractor with no-out-of-pocket expense and where clinically relevant for a White Card with accepted conditions can also be eligible to access chiropractic care.
