How VA Community Care works
1. Check your eligibility
If the VA can't conveniently provide your care, you may qualify to be seen by a community provider like us. Call and we'll help you figure it out.
2. Get your referral
VA Community Care chiropractic generally starts with a referral/authorization through the VA and Optum. We'll point you to the right step.
3. Start your recovery plan
Once approved, we get you scheduled and start a personalized plan targeting your back and neck pain — right here in Gaithersburg.
