Community Care Initiative · November
Veterans & Active Military
Honoring those who have served our country.
This group is honored each November. The $56 New Patient Special is available to new patients year-round — see who's featured this month.
Rucks, boots, body armor, and airframes leave a durable record in the spine. Many veterans we treat have carried the same low back or neck complaint since service and simply learned to live with it.
Living with it isn't the same as being done with it. A clear exam and honest findings often explain something that's gone unexplained for a decade.
November is for everyone who served — and the families who served alongside them.

What the work does
Why this job shows up in your spine.
Every profession loads the body a specific way. Here's what we see most in this group.
Load carriage
Years under a ruck and plate carrier compress the spine and round the upper back.
Old injuries
Untreated sprains and impacts change how you move — the compensation often hurts more than the original injury.
Sleep and tension
A nervous system that stayed switched on doesn't always switch off after service.
Conditions we treat
What we most often help with in this group.
Low Back Pain
Low back pain is the single most common reason people walk into our clinics, and it's also the most commonly mistreated. Rest and ibuprofen quiet the symptom for a few days, but if a joint isn't moving or a disc is loaded unevenly, the pain keeps coming back.

Neck Pain
Neck pain rarely stays in the neck. It spreads into the shoulders, creeps up the back of the skull and shows up as headaches by mid-afternoon. The good news: the cervical spine responds quickly once the right segment starts moving again.

Knee Pain
The knee is a hinge caught between two joints that rotate: the hip above and the foot below. When either one misbehaves, the knee absorbs the difference. That's why treating only the knee so often fails.

Poor Sleep From Pain
Pain and sleep run in a loop: pain wakes you, poor sleep lowers your pain threshold, and the next day hurts more. Breaking that loop means treating the mechanical problem and fixing the eight hours a night that keep re-irritating it.

Questions
Veterans & military: common questions
Does this work with VA benefits?
The $56 special is a self-pay visit and isn't billed to the VA. Bring any imaging or records you have and we'll factor them in.
Are military spouses included?
Yes. Families carry the service too.
Who qualifies?
Anyone who is part of the community group we're currently featuring. Each month recognizes a different profession or role. Both new patients and existing Back To Health patients from that group are welcome to participate.
What does the visit cost?
New patients in the honored group get our $56 New Patient Special — consultation and exam, digital X-rays if clinically needed, and your report of findings. That's it. No deposit, no hidden fees, and nothing due before you arrive.
Is there a deposit?
No. There is no deposit and no prepayment. You pay $56 at the clinic on the day of your visit.
Can I nominate someone?
Yes — and we love when people do. Use the Nominate Someone form to tell us about a coworker, friend, or family member who deserves to be recognized. We'll reach out gently and let them decide if it's right for them.
Can I nominate myself?
Absolutely. If you're part of the group we're currently honoring, just complete the reservation form.
How do I reserve a spot?
Complete the short reservation form and choose the clinic closest to you. You'll be sent straight to that clinic's online scheduling page to pick your time, and our team will confirm.
