VA to begin chiropractic care

Veterans can receive chiropractic care at 26 selected Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities beginning this fall. VA will hire or contract with doctors of chiropractic to provide the care. In consultation with VA primary care providers, doctors of chiropractic will offer patient evaluations and chiropractic care for neuromusculoskeletal conditions.

Locations where chiropractic care will be provided include Buffalo. Eligible veterans in areas distant from this location will also be able to receive chiropractic care through VA's outpatient fee-basis program after a referral by their primary care provider and prior authorization by the department.
