US Military to Get
Chiropractic
An Associated Press story of Nov. 26, 2000, reports on
legislation passed by the US Congress that mandates that
chiropractic care be made available to all active-duty
personnel in the United States armed forces. Prior to
the bill passage personnel in the military had to pay
for chiropractic services out of their own pockets. When
this bill is implemented, military personnel will be
able to receive chiropractic care just as they do the
medical care they receive without any out of pocket
expense.
Pvt. Robert Zemla, who started having back pains from a
car accident and decided to go to a chiropractor, is one
soldier excited about the news. "All the military
doctors do is give you painkillers and tell you to take
(physical therapy) at your own pace," the 27-year-old
private stated. "I wanted to feel some real relief."
The program will be phased in over a 5 year period. How
it will exactly work depends on the US Department of
Defense implementation plan, yet to be released.
