Veterans Services
Serving Those Who Served
Sycamore Chiropractic is proud to be a VA Community Care provider. We honor your service by providing the quality chiropractic care you deserve — at no cost to eligible veterans.
VA Community Care
Your Benefits, Your Choice
The VA Community Care program allows eligible veterans to receive healthcare services from approved providers in their local community — including chiropractic care. This means you can get the treatment you need close to home, without long drives to a VA facility.
As an approved VA Community Care provider, Sycamore Chiropractic works directly with the VA to coordinate your care. Dr. Petersen understands the unique physical demands of military service and has extensive experience treating service-related musculoskeletal conditions.
For eligible veterans, there is no out-of-pocket cost for authorized chiropractic visits. We handle all coordination and billing with the VA so you can focus on what matters — getting better.
