Can I Use VA Benefits for Chiropractic in Jacksonville?
Yes. Full Swing Healthcare accepts VA Community Care Network benefits. Veterans who have been approved for community care chiropractic through their VA primary care provider can come to us directly. We handle the billing through the VA system and verify your authorization before scheduling.
How VA Community Care Works
VA Community Care is not automatic. You need a referral from your VA primary care provider to use community care benefits for chiropractic at a non-VA clinic like ours. That referral comes with an authorization number. Call us with that number and we confirm participation, schedule your visit, and bill the VA directly. You should not be paying out of pocket for authorized VA Community Care visits.
If you do not yet have a referral and want to pursue community care chiropractic, the starting point is your VA primary care provider. They initiate the referral based on your condition and your eligibility for community care placement.
What We Treat for Veterans
The musculoskeletal conditions most common in the veteran population we see include chronic lumbar pain from prolonged load-bearing and operational demands, cervical pain from sustained operational postures, and shoulder injuries from repetitive overhead and carrying demands. We also see a number of veterans dealing with the cumulative postural effects of sustained gear wear over years of service.
One Patient's Experience
A veteran who had been stationed at NAS Jacksonville came to us after years of managing low back pain from his time in service. He had been in the VA system for care but waited months between appointments. Through community care authorization from his VA PCP, he was able to see Dr. Muren regularly at Full Swing Healthcare. His pain went from a daily baseline of six to an occasional two over three months of consistent care. He told us the community care route had been the most consistent treatment he had received since leaving service.
