How VA Coverage Works for Veterans
Your VA benefits make it easy to receive natural, effective pain relief — right here in Alaska.
- Talk to Your Community Care Coordinator.
Tell them you’d like to receive care at Better Health Pain & Wellness (Better Health Alaska). - Your Coordinator Sends the Referral.
Most Veterans start with 12 visits at a time, and your coordinator can approve more if needed for recovery. - We Handle Everything Else.
Once the referral is received, we take care of the scheduling, records, and insurance verification. You simply show up and start feeling better.
Whether your condition is service-related or from daily wear, we provide full-spectrum, integrated care under your VA coverage — from chiropractic to physical therapy and massage therapy.

The Alaska Back Pain Protocol
Trusted by Over 12,000 Alaskans — and Fully Covered for Veterans
Back pain and sciatica can limit your sleep, work, and daily function. That’s why we created the Alaska Back Pain Protocol — a complete, non-surgical system proven to help Veterans restore mobility and live pain-free again.
This system combines multiple therapies into one coordinated plan:
- Spinal Decompression & Traction: Gently relieves pressure on compressed discs and nerves.
- Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation: Builds strength, stability, and endurance.
- Chiropractic Adjustments: Realigns the spine to restore balance and function.
- Massage Therapy & Manual Work: Reduces tension and speeds recovery.
- Ultrasound, E-stim, and Other Modalities: Enhance circulation and healing.
“After years of service-related back pain, the Alaska Back Pain Protocol finally got me moving again. The VA covered everything, and I’m sleeping through the night for the first time in years.”
— Dale W., Army Veteran, Anchorage
Whether your back pain came from service, an old injury, or years of physical wear, the Alaska Back Pain Protocol can help you get lasting relief — without drugs or surgery.
The Knee Renewal Program
Natural, Proven Relief for Chronic or Service-Related Knee Pain
If knee pain makes walking, stairs, or workouts painful, you’re not alone. Many Veterans develop chronic knee issues from training, injury, or arthritis.
Our Knee Renewal Program uses a combination of physical therapy, manual therapy, and chiropractic methods to restore joint mobility and reduce inflammation.
- Targeted strengthening and rehab exercises
- Deep tissue and trigger point therapy
- Chiropractic alignment for balanced movement
- Cold laser and ultrasound for inflammation control
“My knee pain kept me from hiking for years. The Knee Renewal Program got me back on the trails — and the VA covered it all.”
— Mark H., Marine Veteran, Eagle River
VA typically authorizes 12 visits at a time, and most patients start noticing significant improvement within the first few sessions.
The Neck Pain Restoration Plan
Relief from Stiffness, Tension, and Whiplash
Neck pain and stiffness are extremely common among Veterans — often linked to posture, repetitive strain, or injuries from service or accidents.
Our Neck Pain Restoration Plan is designed to relieve pressure, restore mobility, and reduce chronic tightness through:
- Cervical decompression
- Gentle chiropractic adjustments
- Rehabilitative strengthening
- Massage and soft tissue therapy
“I had chronic neck tightness and headaches after a service-related injury. Within weeks, I noticed major improvement. I feel like myself again.”
— Steven L., Air Force Veteran, Anchorage
All services are fully covered once your Community Care Coordinator authorizes your visits.
Massage Therapy for Veterans
Doctor-Prescribed and VA-Covered
Many Veterans don’t realize that therapeutic massage can be prescribed by our providers and covered by VA benefits.
Massage therapy helps relieve muscle tension, improve flexibility, and accelerate recovery from chronic pain or overuse injuries.
At Better Health Pain & Wellness, our licensed massage therapists work hand-in-hand with our chiropractic and rehab teams to make each massage a targeted part of your treatment plan — not just relaxation.
VA-covered massage therapy can be provided in 12-visit increments, with extensions available as your recovery continues.
Integrated Treatment. One Team. One Goal: Your Recovery.
We take pride in offering Veterans an all-in-one clinic experience that simplifies your care. Instead of driving to multiple offices, you can get everything under one roof:
- Chiropractic care
- Physical therapy & rehab
- Massage therapy
- Spinal decompression
- Ultrasound, e-stim, and traction
- Strength and mobility training
This team-based approach means your progress is tracked, coordinated, and adapted as you heal — leading to faster results and a smoother experience.
