Chiropractic Care for Veterans in Lacey, WA

Veterans have given so much in service to our country, and many continue to live with the physical effects of that service. Chronic back pain, neck pain, joint injuries, and headaches are common challenges for veterans, often making daily life more difficult. Too often, these conditions are managed only with medication, leaving many veterans searching for natural, lasting solutions.

At our office in Lacey, WA, chiropractor Dr. Kirk Hansen is proud to serve those who have served. As a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Community Care Provider, Dr. Hansen provides safe, effective chiropractic care to help veterans reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life.

Why Veterans Choose Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is a drug-free, non-surgical option that focuses on the spine, joints, and nervous system. Many veterans benefit from chiropractic for conditions such as:

Chronic back pain
Neck pain and stiffness
Headaches and migraines
Sciatica and nerve-related pain
Shoulder, hip, or knee injuries
Arthritis and joint degeneration
Postural problems from service-related strain

Chiropractic care not only relieves pain but also supports better mobility, balance, and overall function, helping veterans stay active and independent.
