Quick check

Am I eligible for VA Community Care?

Eligibility is determined by the VA. This quick check helps you gauge whether to ask your VA provider about a Community Care referral.

Check the boxes that apply to you

More boxes checked means a stronger case to ask your VA team about a Community Care referral for chiropractic.

Eligibility decisions belong to the VA, not Back in Motion. This is a guide to help you start the conversation with your VA provider.

The referral journey

From “I'm curious” to first adjustment.

Here is what the path usually looks like from start to finish. Most veterans move through this in a few weeks.

01

Talk to your VA provider

Tell your VA primary care doctor or PACT team that you would like chiropractic care through Community Care. Mention Back in Motion in St. Augustine by name.

02

VA submits the referral

The VA processes your Community Care referral. You receive a confirmation in the VA app or by mail. Typical authorization is for 8 to 12 chiropractic treatments.

03

We confirm and schedule

Once your referral is approved, contact Back in Motion or schedule online. We verify the authorization on our end and get you on the books.

04

First visit and treatment

Exam, X-rays if indicated, plain-language findings, and your first treatment, often on the same visit. We send clean records back to the VA throughout your care.

What we treat

Common veteran conditions.

If any of these sound familiar, chiropractic care is worth asking about. Most respond well to a coordinated plan.

Chronic Back Pain

Long-standing low back stiffness from years of carrying loads, body armor, and repetitive strain.

Neck and Shoulder Pain

Cervical-thoracic stress from helmets, packs, and prolonged postural loading.

Sciatica and Disc Issues

Nerve pain radiating from the low back into the leg, often from disc compression.

Knee and Hip Pain

Joint problems traced upstream to misalignment in the spine or pelvis.

Headaches

Tension and cervicogenic headaches that respond to cervical spine care.

Old Injuries

Service-era injuries that never fully resolved and continue to flare.

Post-Deployment Joint Pain

Knee, ankle, and shoulder wear from rucking, jumping, and repetitive load. We work the joint and the chain above and below it.

Sleep Disruption from Pain

If pain wakes you up or keeps you up, it shapes everything else. Getting the joint quiet often gives the sleep back.

Posture-Related Tension

Years of body armor, ruck straps, or office work after service leaves the upper back locked. We restore motion and rebuild posture.

First visit prep

What to bring to your first VA visit.

Coming prepared shaves time off your first visit and helps us get straight to care.
