Be Heard First

Your story matters. We take time to understand what hurts, what you have already tried, and how pain is changing your life.

Look Beyond the Symptoms

Our goal is not simply to cover up pain. We look at movement, function, and the areas that may be keeping your body from working the way it should.

VA-Authorized Local Care

With an approved VA referral, eligible Veterans can receive authorized care from our team close to home.

You served. You deserve options.

When Pain Pills, Injections, or Waiting Have Not Been Enough

Some medicines, injections, and surgeries are necessary and helpful. But they are not the right answer for every person or every problem. If you are still hurting, you deserve to know whether a lower-risk, non-drug approach belongs in your care plan.

We focus on the whole picture: how your spine, joints, muscles, and nerves are working together. Then we create an individualized plan aimed at better movement, better function, and getting you back to living.

Persistent pain should not be dismissed. You deserve to be heard, carefully evaluated, and shown real options.

You may be ready to ask about Community Care if:

  • Pain is limiting sleep, work, movement, recreation, or family life.
  • You have tried medication, therapy, injections, or other conservative care without enough relief.
  • Your pain has continued for six months or longer.
  • You want to explore a non-drug, non-surgical option close to home.
  • You are enrolled in VA health care and are willing to ask your VA team for a Community Care referral.

A 2020 study in Pain Medicine found that people with spinal pain who received chiropractic care were less likely to fill an opioid prescription than those who did not.

VA decides Community Care eligibility, authorization, covered services, and any applicable copay for each Veteran.

A simple path to local care

How VA Community Care Works

The VA must approve non-emergency Community Care before treatment begins. Here is the basic process.

01

Talk With Your VA Care Team

Tell your VA provider that chronic pain is still limiting your life and ask whether Community Care is an option.

02

Ask for Legacy

Request Legacy Family Chiropractic in Comstock Park as your participating community provider.

03

Receive VA Authorization

Make sure the authorization lists our clinic, the approved services, visit limits, and dates.

04

Call Our Team

Once VA issues the authorization, call us. We will verify it and help arrange your first visit.

Advanced healing technology for those who served

SoftWave Can Help Your Body Heal Better, Move Better, and Function Better

SoftWave delivers powerful, broad-focused shockwaves deep into painful or injured tissue. These waves activate the body’s healing response at the cellular level—without needles, medication, surgery, or downtime.

The goal is bigger than temporary relief. SoftWave is designed to help increase blood flow, activate connective tissue, accelerate repair, reduce pain, and restore easier movement and better function.

Many patients notice a meaningful change after the first treatment—the area may feel looser, movement may come easier, or pain may begin to ease. Every person responds differently, but this is powerful technology built to create real change.

Eligible Veterans can receive SoftWave through VA Community Care when the service is clinically appropriate and included in, or separately approved for, the VA authorization.

What Will I Pay?

For care properly authorized by VA, our clinic bills VA or its administrator. You should not pay our clinic directly for those authorized services.

VA may still decide that a copay applies to some nonservice-connected care. That decision comes from VA—not our clinic.

Before treatment starts, we verify the referral so you know what VA has approved.

Before You Come In

  • VA must usually approve Community Care before your appointment.
  • The authorization should name Legacy Family Chiropractic.
  • Only the services and visits listed by VA are covered.
  • More care or a different service may need additional VA approval.

Questions Veterans Often Ask

Can VA Community Care Cover SoftWave?

Yes—when VA authorizes SoftWave as part of your approved care and our doctor determines it is appropriate for you. Our team can help you understand what to ask your VA care team.

Does this replace my VA doctor?

No. We work within the VA referral and share needed information so your care stays coordinated.

What if I have already tried chiropractic care?

We begin with a new evaluation. Different problems and different care plans can lead to different experiences, but no treatment can guarantee results.

What should I bring?

Bring your VA authorization information, photo ID, requested imaging or reports, and a list of current medications and past treatments.
