VA Community Care Exceptional Chiropractic Services

Veterans enrolled in VA healthcare who meet certain criteria are eligible for Community Care. This includes situations where the VA cannot provide timely care, the nearest VA facility is too far away, or specialized services aren't available at VA facilities. Your VA primary care provider or specialist will determine your eligibility and provide authorization.

Yes, you'll need an authorization from your VA healthcare team before scheduling an appointment. Start by discussing your need for chiropractic care with your VA primary care provider. They will evaluate your condition and, if appropriate, issue a Community Care authorization that allows you to receive treatment from Dr. Pickett.

No! When you receive care through the VA Community Care Network with proper authorization, there are zero out-of-pocket costs. No copays, no deductibles, no surprise bills. Dr. Pickett bills the VA directly for all authorized services. This is one of the valuable benefits you've earned through your service to our country.

The number of treatments is determined by your VA authorization and clinical needs. Typically, authorizations cover an initial course of treatment (often 6-12 visits). Dr. Pickett will work closely with your VA care team to ensure you receive the appropriate amount of care. If additional treatment is needed, we'll coordinate with the VA to extend your authorization.

Dr. Pickett specializes in treating a wide range of service-related conditions including chronic back and neck pain, sciatica, joint pain, headaches and migraines, sports and training injuries, post-deployment musculoskeletal issues, and general wellness care. He offers both chiropractic adjustments and therapeutic massage therapy to address your specific needs. He has extensive experience working with veterans and understands the unique physical demands and challenges of military service.

Once you have your VA authorization, we prioritize veterans and typically offer same-day or next-day appointments. We understand that when you're in pain, you need relief quickly. Our flexible scheduling and veteran-first approach means you won't have to wait weeks for care. Call our office as soon as you receive your authorization number.
