OneChiropractic has launched Operation Backbone to help ensure chiropractic has its rightful place in the healthcare of the nation’s military.
Operation Backbone focuses on providing resources and information and helping chiropractors access and give the best care for our nation’s heroes.
OneChiropractic founder and CEO Bharon Hoag said now is the time to organize a more concerted push to incorporate chiropractic into the military. “Operation Backbone is a small part of the more significant issue that OneChiropractic is working on, and that is getting chiropractors recognized as officers in the military.
“Currently, there are no active-service chiropractors in any military branch,” he said.
“This is not because chiropractors are unwilling to serve in this capacity but because the military does not allow chiropractors to serve.”
Active-duty service men and women do not have chiropractic coverage unless referred by a VA hospital. Most follow the allopathic model.
OperationBackbone.com is a marketplace that helps chiropractors access information and resources that will help them care for veterans and the military. Information ranges from connecting with military groups to answering questions about correctly billing the VA for services.
OperationBackbone.com is a free resource.
