Chiropractors to Give Free Services to Returning Vets

....and another thing

Do you happen to know any veterans who were injured while serving in

Iraq or Afghanistan? If so, the International Chiropractors Association

(ICA) would like you to help get a message to them: They can receive

chiropractic services free of charge.

This past June, the ICA asked its members to provide free treatments for

injured Iraq/Afghanistan vets. As of the end of July, more than 70 U.S.

chiropractors had volunteered.

In some cases, the treatments offered go beyond chiropractic services.

One Texas chiropractor has teamed up with an acupuncturist who

specializes in treating symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, such

as sleeplessness and anxiety.

But many chiropractors have been frustrated in getting the word out

about their veteran program. When they've tried to contact vets through

military healthcare channels, they've run into plenty of red tape,

encountering barriers where they'd hoped to find open doors.

So this is where you can help. If you know an injured vet, tell them

they can find a participating chiropractor by going to the ICA website

(chiropractic.org). The site has a special search feature they can use

to access a pair of generous helping hands, trained to help them

overcome post-battle challenges.

To Your Good Health,

Jenny Thompson
