As you may have heard, the Tomah VA clinic in Wisconsin has come under intense criticism for an extreme overuse of narcotic drug prescribing to veterans. In response congressman Ron Kind has co-sponsored a bill called the Chiropractic Care Available to All Veteran's Act. It would require chiropractic care and services at all VA medical centers by the end of 2016.
He has said that "We need to be exploring more complimentary, alternative forms of medicine in dealing with pain management for our veterans, instead of just loading them up with a cocktail of pain management drugs, which is really just treating the symptom and not the cause of the pain."
