TRICARE’s Chiropractic Benefits Explained

TRICARE Management Activity

The Chiropractic Care Program is only available to active duty Service members at designated military treatment facilities (MTFs). Family members may be referred to non-chiropractic health care services (physical therapy, family practice or orthopedics) in the Military Health System or may seek chiropractic care in the local community at their own expense. 

Access to the Chiropractic Care Program
Active duty Service members may be treated by a chiropractic provider for neuro-musculoskeletal conditions at one of the designated MTFs, if referred by their primary care manager. During the course of treatment, the primary care manager will determine if specialty care (traditional or chiropractic care) is required.  If chiropractic care is considered an option, the patient will undergo a screening process to rule out any medical conditions that would prohibit chiropractic care.  If appropriate, the primary care manager may refer the patient to a chiropractic provider for treatment.

Chiropractic care received outside of the designated locations listed below may not be covered under the Chiropractic Care Program.
