PTSD study shows little chiropractic relief for PTSD veterans

Chiropractic in Military Medicine


June 19, 2009 — Chiropractic services are offered at several United States military bases and veterans healthcare locations; however some healthcare providers are not aware that chiropractic services are available or when to refer patients for chiropractic care.

An article in the June 2009 issue of the journal Military Medicine addresses these issues in an effort to increase awareness and improve interdisciplinary collaboration. The article titled “Chiropractic in US military and veterans’ health care” by Drs. Bart Green, Claire Johnson, and Anthony Lisi provides a brief overview of chiropractic services and helps to inform readers and healthcare providers who may be unfamiliar with how chiropractic services are utilized within the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare environments.

This study found that patients with post-traumatic stress disorder had significantly lower levels of improvement than those without post-traumatic stress disorder on self-reported outcome measures of neck and low back disability.
