Dr. Rick McMichael, DC, President, American Chiropractic Association, testifying before the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs on S.1204, the "Chiropractic Care Available to All Veterans Act of 2009" .
In the Rio Grande Valley chiropractic services are not available for Veterans. Veterans have chiropractic coverage benefits, but they must be performed at certified Veterans clinic. The Veterans clinic in McAllen or Harlingen do not provide chiropractic services. Only a limited Veteran clinics cover chiropractic services. Many Veterans have chronic muscle and joint pain related to injuries sustained in service.
There is no doubt that chiropractic can help Veterans with their complaints. Chiropractic benefits for all Veterans is my vision. All chiropractor should be able to treat Veterans. There is no reason why brave men and women who served for my freedom are not receiving the care they deserve.
If a Valley Veteran wants to see a chiropractor they have to pay out of pocket.
For this reason Veteran's appreciation day will be celebrated at Arevalo Chiropractic on November 11th at his office. As a contribution to the Valley Veterans, Dr. Arevalo will be servicing the Valley's Veterans with Free Chiropractic Examination and Adjustment.
His office is 2522 Buddy Owens, McAllen, TX. 3 mile line between 23rd and 29th.
