KILLEEN, Texas, Feb. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- After years of carrying a 50-pound rucksack, landing harsh jumps out of airplanes, and sleeping in less than ideal conditions with no back support, many veterans find themselves suffering from chronic back pain from serving our country. One of the most common culprits of injuries in the military is the overuse of the back during endurance training, wreaking havoc on a soldier’s spine. Many veterans with back injuries are young troops who still have their lives ahead of them but suffer daily from chronic pain and mobility problems. If you or a veteran you love suffers from a severe back injury related to service, Isdale Chiropractic Clinic can help.
Isdale Chiropractic Clinic would like to make area veterans aware of the availability of chiropractic care through specialized programs that assist them in relieving their back and neck pain. We would like to ensure that all eligible veterans are aware of these programs so that they can enjoy the numerous benefits of chiropractic treatments.
The programs that allow veterans to gain access to chiropractic care are the Veterans Choice Program (VCP) and TriWest. The TriWest group administers the Veterans Choice Program (VCP) as well as the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Patient-Centered Community Care (PC3) program to help provide timely, high-quality health care to our nation's honorable veterans.
While VA hospitals and clinics provide a large amount of care for veterans, some health needs can be better attended to by community providers, such as Chiropractic Care to relieve back and neck pain. The Veterans Affairs Patient-Centered Community Care (PC3) Program and TriWest can assist veterans through coordinating appointments with Isdale Chiropractic Clinic. Veterans can find out if they qualify for this program by visiting www.va.gov/healthbenefits/apps/choice or by calling 1 (866) 606-8198.
Symptoms of underlying spinal problems such as alignment issues or slipped or compressed discs can include back pain, neck pain, muscle stiffness, tingling or numbness in the limbs, headaches, migraines, or neurological problems. Chiropractic adjustments are performed gently and in a targeted manner to address the issue at the source of the problem and correct it at a deep level. Other supplemental and complementing therapies to chiropractic care can include acupuncture, physical therapy, and massage therapy.
Isdale Chiropractic Clinic is conveniently located at 1201 Winkler Avenue in Killeen, Texas, less than 10 minutes from Ft. Hood. Area veterans who have questions about how to access chiropractic benefits or want to find out if chiropractic care may help them should call 254-699-4004.
