Proudly Serving Veterans in Woodstock, GA Through the VA Community Care Network
Get VA-covered chiropractic care at Ribley Family Chiropractic at little to no cost.
As a trusted VA CCN provider, Ribley Family Chiropractic honors veterans by providing expert, non-invasive care for chronic service-related pain.
Does the VA Cover Chiropractic Care?
Yes — and many veterans don’t realize it. Chiropractic care is officially included in the VA’s standard Medical Benefits Package, making it an entitled benefit for enrolled veterans who meet the eligibility criteria.
This isn’t a supplemental or optional benefit — it’s a core part of the VA healthcare system designed to address the high rates of musculoskeletal conditions seen in the veteran population.
The VA provides chiropractic services directly at select VA Medical Centers and outpatient clinics. However, when the VA cannot offer care in a timely manner — or when a veteran lives too far from a VA facility — eligible veterans are referred to approved private providers in their local area through the VA Community Care Network (CCN). In Georgia, the CCN is administered by Optum (VA Region 3), and Ribley Family Chiropractic is a credentialed provider within that network.
This means that if you are an enrolled veteran and your VA Primary Care Provider determines you need chiropractic care, you can be referred directly to our Woodstock clinic — and in most cases, your VA benefits will cover the full cost of your authorized visits. You receive the same high-quality, expert chiropractic care our other patients enjoy, without the financial burden.

What Is the VA Community Care Network?
The VA Community Care Network (CCN) is a program that allows the Department of Veterans Affairs to partner with private, community-based healthcare providers to ensure veterans receive timely, high-quality care close to where they live. When VA facilities are at capacity, located too far away, or unable to provide a specific type of care, the CCN steps in as a bridge between the VA system and trusted local providers like Ribley Family Chiropractic.
The CCN is designed with the veteran’s convenience in mind. Rather than requiring veterans to travel long distances to a VA Medical Center for every appointment, the network allows you to receive care within your own community — from providers you can build a long-term relationship with. For chiropractic care specifically, this is a significant advantage, as effective chiropractic treatment often requires multiple visits over a course of weeks or months.
In Georgia, Optum manages the CCN under VA Region 3, overseeing provider credentialing, referral authorizations, and billing coordination. When you receive a VA referral to Ribley Family Chiropractic, all billing goes directly through the VA — you don’t need to navigate complex insurance paperwork on your own.
