NAPOLEON MAY HAVE SAID AN ARMY MOVES ON ITS STOMACH, BUT THESE DAYS, IT MAY BE ITS BACK.

ITʼS BEEN REPORTED THAT MORE THAN SIXTEEN PERCENT OF THE ARMY IS CURRENTLY "UNAVAILABLE" FOR DEPLOYMENT. THE TOP AILMENT SIDELINING SOLDIERS? INCREDIBLY, BACK PAIN AND OTHER MUSCULOSKELETAL ISSUES.

RETIRED BRIGADIER GENERAL REBECCA HALSTEAD—WHOSE SERVICE IN IRAQ MADE HER THE FIRST U-S WOMAN TO COMMAND IN COMBAT AT THE STRATEGIC LEVEL—THINKS ITʼS TIME WE ADDRESS THAT. "THESE ARE THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN OUT THERE EVERY DAY PROTECTING OUR FREEDOM. IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE BENEFIT OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE MILITARY. THEY DESERVE IT."

HALSTEAD, HERSELF, SUFFERED FROM CHRONIC FIBROMYALGIA FOR YEARS UNTIL SHE RECEIVED CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT. NOW SHEʼS TEAMED UP WITH THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT FOUNDATION FOR CHIROPRACTIC PROGRESS TO MAKE SURE ALL MILITARY MEMBERS GET THE CARE THEY DESERVE.

"FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I KNOW THAT CHIROPRACTIC CARE WILL EXPONENTIALLY IMPROVE MILITARY HEALTH AND READINESS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, MISSIONS GET ACCOMPLISHED ON THE BACKS
OF OUR SOLDIERS." LEARN MORE AT YES2CHIROPRACTIC.COM.

Although not a combat related injury, multiple vehicle accidents have left me with neck and back pain. Chiropratic care was the only way to relieve the pain without heavy medication. As a veteran, the inability to access this type of care with the VA healthcare system has led me to out of pocket expenses.

The VA will need to reaccess this care as more and more veterans have multiple neck and back injuries from combat.
