As a result of the great support for chiropractic by the members of the committee, strong report language was included. The following is an excerpt from the report language that accompanied the statutory language. In addition, several studies indicate that patient satisfaction in the relief of low-back pain is as great or greater with chiropractic than with other approaches, even when volunteer patients are randomly assigned to a treatment approach. In recognition of the evolving medical practice, section 304 of the reported bill would require the VA to establish a policy which would permit greater access to chiropractic care, particularly in rural and medically underserved areas. This bill changes that.
Veterans deserve the opportunity to choose chiropractic care.
