Veterans Deserve Relief—We Can Help
Stresses put on the body during military service can leave echoes of aches and pain.
The bodies of those who have served in the military have been through a lot.
Rucking with heavy gear.
Jumping out of vehicles and planes.
Sleeping in rough conditions.
If you've served, you've seen years of wear and tear.
I see a lot of veterans at Cloud Peak Chiro. Most of them come in with the same story: chronic pain that just doesn’t quit.
They also come in with a desire to stay independent without relying on medication, especially heavy narcotics.
I'm proud to say that with chiropractic and acupuncture, we're often able to help veterans avoid medications and get back to living their lives.
There are a few common conditions we see in veterans.
While your body might not move like it used to, we can help you move better in many areas:
Veterans often have low back pain.
Carrying a heavy pack impacts your spine. The effects of that don’t go away when your service ends. One common effect is low back pain.
Many veterans deal with ongoing low back pain. It typically flares up during physical activity or while sleeping.
Chiropractic can restore motion to stiff joints and reduce pressure on nerves.
Acupuncture can change chronic pain patterns, and reduce inflammation and nerve irritation to support long-term relief.
Neck and shoulder issues are also common with vets.
Gear, posture, or injury can lead to neck stiffness and shoulder dysfunction.
I often see neck problems in veterans with desk jobs after the military.
Trauma during active duty can lead to issues with shoulders and the neck, too.
Chiropractic can improve joint alignment and mobility.
Acupuncture can relax overworked muscles and reduce pain from old injuries.
Knee and hip pain often come with being a veteran.
Long runs and heavy gear come with serving in the military.
Years of hard landings, fast pivots, and running in boots on hard terrain are hard on your joints.
I often see veterans who’ve had joint surgeries—or are trying to avoid them.
Chiropractic helps reduce strain on muscles and joints, improving movement patterns.
Acupuncture can reduce pain and inflammation, and support healing.
A lot of vets deal with limited mobility post-surgery or injury.
Many veterans have had orthopedic surgeries: fused discs, joint replacements, or surgical repairs.
Post-surgical stiffness and compensation patterns can create new pain in different areas. We can still safely treat people with a history of spine surgery.
Chiropractic care can gently restore motion and support healthy compensation.
Acupuncture aids circulation and speeds up tissue recovery.
Vertigo and headaches are familiar complaints with my veteran patients.
Head injuries and high-impact situations can lead to ongoing vertigo or chronic headaches.
These are often linked to dysfunctions in the upper cervical spine.
Chiropractic can correct neck imbalances that contribute to dizziness and head pain.
Acupuncture calms the nervous system and reduces frequency and severity of symptoms.
Chiropractic and acupuncture are highly beneficial for Veterans.
Both are effective treatments that help your body move better and hurt less.
You don't have to rely on prescriptions with unwanted side effects. Chiropractic and acupuncture gently ease pain and restore balance.
These are the biggest benefits we see for our veterans at Cloud Peak Chiro:
Targeted Pain Relief
I’ll work with you to find the source of the problem—whether it’s a locked joint, muscle tension, or a nerve that’s being compressed.
Gentle, precise adjustments will get things moving again.
Even if you’ve got fused discs or past injuries, there are ways to work around that safely.
Acupuncture works alongside adjustments to relax tension.
It works by reducing inflammation, relaxing tight muscles, and helping your nervous system reset.
Mobility, Strength & Recovery Support
We've got strategies to stop the cycle of pain and flare-ups.
Chiropractic care can help you feel better longer.
I’ll walk you through movement strategies that help you stay active, strong, and stable—so you’re not stuck in a cycle of feeling good, then feeling bad.
Acupuncture can speed recovery.
Acupuncture improves circulation, reduces stiffness, and eases stress in overworked muscles.
Less Reliance on Medication
Many veterans I work with want relief without loading up on meds.
Chiropractic and acupuncture both help manage pain naturally.
Both improve joint function, calm irritated nerves, and reduce inflammation. That means fewer pills—and better long-term outcomes.
A Sense of Control Over Your Health
One of the toughest parts of chronic pain is feeling like it’s running your life.
Chiropractic care gets your body functioning the way it should.
When you can move better with less pain, you experience fewer disruptions in your life.
Acupuncture helps you relax, regulate, and stay grounded.
You get your focus back, and move through your life with more ease.
Together, chiropractic and acupuncture help you manage life.
Feeling good makes it easier to keep your schedule, enjoy your activities, and reach your goals.
You don’t have to just “Tough It Out”
Veterans are some of the toughest people I know. But pain is not a badge of honor. It’s a signal—and ignoring it only makes it worse.
I’ve helped a lot of vets feel better, move better, and get back to doing the things they care about. One of my patients said it best:
“They were able to get me in the same day as I was a new client experiencing an emergency in my lower back, and Dr. Nathan was able to get me adjusted and back to normal in three visits over a week. They are not out for the money and genuinely care about you.” — Nathan Patrick, Google Review
