S5E11: Serving Those Who Served: How Chiropractic Supports Veterans

Join host Jon Kec for a powerful conversation about chiropractic care in the Veterans Affairs system, where serving those who served takes on new meaning.

In this episode of Chiropractical, Jon sits down with Dr. Anthony Lisi, National Chiropractic Program Director for the VA, to explore how chiropractic became part of veteran healthcare, how it continues to evolve, and where it’s headed next. Since chiropractic became a VA benefit in 2004, it’s grown into a vital part of how our nation cares for its veterans. 

Today, more than 500 chiropractors across 100 VA sites are helping veterans live with less pain and more possibility. From groundbreaking research to hands-on care, you’ll hear how doctors across the country are making a real difference—and how the next generation of chiropractors can be part of it.
