Chiropractic Care for Our Veterans in Amarillo TX

Before reading further, you have to know that to see us here at Creek Stone, you must ask for a referral specifically to Creek Stone. Otherwise, you could be sent anywhere in town. 

We know that veterans are among our most deserving and honored patient populations in Amarillo TX. But traditionally, their pain has been mostly mismanaged. With the onset of the opioid crisis, providers had to search for alternatives for our veterans. You cannot simply stop prescribing opioids, sometimes after decades, and not have alternatives in place.

We also know that veterans are at a higher risk of suicide than a person that has never served. Sometimes, this has to do with ongoing pain, PTSD, and a whole host of other factors. Research in the Journal of the American Medical Association has shown that chiropractic has been significantly effective in achieving better outcomes for our veteran population over and above the effects seen in traditional medical care alone.

THAT’S HUGE!

We’ve seen chiropractic help with pain, sleep, stress, and tension, while we see acupuncture help with symptoms like pain, sleep, stress, and tension, as well as some symptoms from PTSD.

Common Questions from Veterans - FAQs

We know you have questions about receiving chiropractic for your pain; here are some of the most commonly asked questions and their answers to help.

How do I Get Chiropractic Care Through the VA?
Some VA clinics offer chiropractic treatments at their locations; however, not all. Veterans who are not close to a VA clinic that offers chiropractic care are able to get it off-site at chiropractic clinics using the fee-basis program.

Fee-basis is the VA’s medical program that offers payment authorization for veterans when they work with non-VA healthcare providers.

How Do I Get Off-Site Chiropractic Healthcare?
If you’d like to get fee-basis care, speak with your primary provider at the VA and tell them you’d like to receive chiropractic care at an off-site location. Our Amarillo TX medical center works with the VA and provides care to numerous veterans, managing the logistics to make the process as easy as possible for the patient.

What’s the Cost of Chiropractic Care for VA Patients?
Veterans who are eligible will have no out-of-pocket expenses when using the fee-basis option. The VA will cover all costs associated with the treatment you receive at our clinic. Our team will communicate with your VA primary care provider to ensure your appointments are approved prior to your visit.
