Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking,
Dream of battled fields no more.

On May 24th, the House of Representatives passed the "Chiropractic Care Available to All Veterans Act." The act requires the Department of Veterans’ Affairs to staff at least 75 VA medical facilities with Chiropractors by the end of 2011. By 2013, all 160 VA facilities in the country must have a Chiropractor on staff.... (Currently, only 32 do.)



The Bill comes after a February VA report, "Analysis of VA Health Care Utilization Among Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) Veterans,” which cited “diseases of Musculoskeletal System/Connective System,” such as back pain, as the number one ailment of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans accessing VA treatment.

Did you know that Kentucky produces a 'Go Chiropractic' license plate? "We had some difficulty getting the design approved because the Kentucky Transportation Department didn't understand how Chiropractic was 'Green." Jonathan Boggs, legal counsel for the Kentucky Chiropractic Association, Inc.(the "KCA") said. "That confusion shows just how important a plate like this is: the public at large have no idea how unique Chiropractic is and how our healthcare choices affect the world around us."

If you live in Kentucky and are proud about the care you give to your body and to the planet, you can show everyone by purchasing a new specialty license plate.
