CHPT accepts VA benefits, so eligible Veterans can get chiropractic and rehab care right here at Montrose & Central.
Getting care for aches and pains shouldn’t feel like another mission. Back, neck, and joint pain are common after service, and you don’t have to cross the city or wait for it to get worse before getting help. At CHPT, Veterans can use their VA benefits for care close to home.
Chiropractic Care Is Part of the VA Benefit
Chiropractic care is part of the standard VA Medical Benefits Package for eligible Veterans. There’s a good reason for that. Chiropractors diagnose and manage non-surgical muscle, joint, and nerve problems, especially in the low back and neck. VA research has linked chiropractic care to less reliance on prescription opioids. It’s also especially useful for groups with high rates of musculoskeletal pain, including women Veterans, older adults, and Post-9/11 Veterans.
Our Approach: the whole you, not just the sore spot
CHPT has served Chicago families for generations, and we’re a family-owned practice that believes in one-on-one time with patients. Pain often shows up in one place while the root cause is somewhere else. We look at the whole picture and start with conservative, common-sense care, treating the whole person, not just the symptom.
- Chiropractic care: Dr. David Cunningham and Dr. Matthew Clement provide spinal adjustments and manual therapies, along with exercise and lifestyle guidance, and both bring sports medicine and rehabilitation experience.
- Physical therapy: Our therapists build rehabilitation plans that address the source of pain. They include strength, flexibility, and coordination work to help you return to full activity.
- Acupuncture and dry needling: These can ease pain and muscle tension without medication.
- Massage therapy and pelvic floor care: These services round out your care under one roof.
Our providers work as a team, meaning you won’t have to piece together care from several offices.
