Veterans’ Benefits for Chiropractic and Massage Care at Warwick Chiropractic and Massage
At Warwick Chiropractic and Massage, we’re proud to serve as a preferred veterans provider for both chiropractic care and massage therapy. Many veterans don’t realize they are eligible for natural, drug-free treatments through their VA benefits. Our mission is to help veterans reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life — while making the VA referral process as smooth as possible.
Key Highlights
✅ Preferred Veterans Provider – Warwick Chiropractic and Massage works directly with the VA system to provide covered chiropractic and massage services for veterans.
✅ Dual Referrals for Care – Veterans can receive separate VA referrals for chiropractic and massage care, which can be used together to support recovery and overall wellness.
✅ Streamlined VA Coordination – Our team handles the paperwork, SAR reports, and treatment updates to make sure referrals remain active and uninterrupted.
Understanding Your Veterans’ Benefits
As a veteran, you may qualify for chiropractic and massage therapy through the VA’s community care program. These benefits are often underutilized, simply because veterans aren’t aware of them or aren’t sure how to request referrals.
At Warwick Chiropractic and Massage, Dr. David Warwick and our staff walk you through the process step by step. We know how to communicate with VA providers and ensure that your treatment plan is set up correctly.
Here’s how it usually works:
Chiropractic Care Referral – Veterans can request a referral for chiropractic treatment, typically for neck pain, back pain, or spinal issues.
Massage Therapy Referral – A separate referral can be requested for massage therapy, often for areas like the shoulders, hips, or other regions contributing to pain or stiffness.
Two Services, One Goal – While chiropractic and massage are separate benefits, they work hand-in-hand to reduce pain, improve flexibility, and promote healing.
Many veterans find that combining these services provides greater relief than either therapy alone.
How Many Visits Do Veterans Receive?
Based on our experience at Warwick Chiropractic and Massage, here’s what veterans typically receive once their referrals are approved:
Chiropractic Care: An initial block of 12 visits, with the possibility of 8 additional visits in the same fiscal year if progress is documented.
Massage Therapy: Typically 12 massage visits per fiscal year, depending on VA authorization.
These visits are granted based on VA guidelines and provider updates. Our role as a preferred veterans provider is to make sure the VA receives timely progress reports so that additional visits can be authorized when needed.
Our Role in VA Communication
One of the biggest challenges veterans face is dealing with authorizations and renewals. At Warwick Chiropractic and Massage, we take on much of that burden for you:
Treatment Notes & Updates – We submit your progress notes to the VA promptly.
SAR Reports – We provide required reports that demonstrate the effectiveness of your care.
Referral Renewals – We ensure renewals are requested within the 30-day window before an existing referral expires.
This level of communication keeps your care on track without unnecessary gaps.
Why Choose Chiropractic and Massage Care?
Many veterans experience chronic pain due to service-related injuries, repetitive stress, or simply the demands of everyday life. Chiropractic and massage therapy offer natural, non-invasive approaches to managing these challenges.
Chiropractic Care focuses on restoring alignment in the spine and joints. It helps reduce back pain, neck pain, headaches, and nerve irritation.
Massage Therapy targets muscle tension, scar tissue, and circulation. It complements chiropractic care by easing tight muscles that can pull joints out of balance.
Together, these services improve mobility, reduce pain, and support your body’s natural healing ability.
A Personalized Approach for Veterans
At Warwick Chiropractic and Massage, we believe every veteran deserves personalized care. No two bodies are alike, and no two service histories are alike either. That’s why we create treatment plans based on your specific needs, whether you’re dealing with:
- Service-related injuries
- Chronic back or neck pain
- Postural imbalances
- Stress and muscle tension
- Mobility limitations
We take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and design a care plan that helps you return to doing what you love.
Supporting Veterans Every Step of the Way
We know the VA system can feel overwhelming. Our goal at Warwick Chiropractic and Massage is to take the stress out of accessing your benefits. From the moment you walk into our office, you’ll find a team that understands veterans’ needs and respects the service you’ve given to our country.
By choosing us as your preferred veterans provider, you’re not just getting chiropractic and massage care — you’re joining a practice that values your well-being, communicates with the VA on your behalf, and ensures your treatment continues without interruption.
