I have ChampVA. I was in a car accident, rear ended at 74 miles per hour by a guy texting and driving on express way. I suffer from migraines and neck pain. I have been to a spine specialist for many injections. I have 3 herniated discs in my neck. I was wondering why acupuncture is not covered by ChampVa? My husband is a disabled Veteran, and I am his care taker. It is difficult to take care of him when I am looped on pain pills. I feel acupuncture would be cheaper than meds, and doc appointments just to get refills for meds, not to mention the damage happening to my stomach lining from the meds. Can some one tell me why ChampVA will not cover Acupuncture, It is covered by the VA choice program for our Veterans...?
