Doc8482M8404 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I know the VA is using chiropractic care for treatment! Awesome!! But does anyone know if we can get massage therapy to complement chiropractic care? Also can I get a 12v heating pad for my vehicle to relieve me back pain/injury?

0 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted September 11, 2018 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 11, 2018 I am also interested in your question regarding massage therapy. My VAMC's physical therapy clinic gave me a heating pad for my back. It was A/C only, but I bought a power inverter so I can use in while driving.

I thought I have read somewhere about vets getting massage therapy. I pay $60 an hour out of pocket for it. With the nightmare I have seen my acupuncturist go through to get bills paid by VA, the massage therapist would have to charge $120 an hour to make up for all the lost time spent billing.

0 Gastone Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 My VMC Pain Center opened Chiropractic, Full Acupressure Needle services back in 12/2016. You can get a Full (8 to 12 Needles) Needling about every 3 weeks, I all so took advantage of both full Needling and the Ear Combat pin insertions, about (6) Metal or Japanese ear pins. Besides the Acupuncture that really helps, I took advantage of the 2016 VMC Essential Oil Pain topical oil mix. A private Podiatrist sold me $30 for a 30 day Oil Mix that seems to help. When the VMC started the Essential Oils, it actually worked better for the chronic night Neuropathy pain. The Essential oil mix, about 5 oils mixed with an Alow Oil Carrier, is supplied within 2 days, you receive a large 60 day supply by the MH RN in the MH Dept. You have to request a referral to the MH RN for essential oil by your VMC PCP. Vync and Doc8482M8404 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know it’s a hassle for private providers to get paid. I helped one get paid that told me he could not afford to do Vets any more.
