Mind-Body Healing: The Surprising Science Behind Chiropractic Care for Veterans

Research Provided by Foundation for Chiropractic Progress

A groundbreaking study of 750 active-duty service members revealed something remarkable: when chiropractic care was added to their healthcare routine, they experienced not just less pain, but transformation across their entire well-being. Most surprisingly, over half the improvement stemmed from mind-body factors—proving what the team at Cromwell Family Chiropractic has witnessed for years.

Beyond Pain Relief: A Whole-Person Transformation

The research speaks volumes about what happens when we treat the person, not just the pain. Active-duty service members receiving chiropractic care reported three distinct improvements that paint a picture of comprehensive healing:

Pain intensity dropped significantly—but that was just the beginning. Pain interference, the way discomfort disrupts daily life and mission readiness, decreased dramatically. Most powerfully, overall well-being improved in ways that transcended physical symptoms.

The Mind-Body Connection Veterans Need

Military service creates unique stressors that lodge in both mind and body. The constant state of readiness, the physical demands, the emotional weight of service—these experiences shape how pain manifests and persists. When over half the healing comes from mind-body factors, we're seeing evidence of something profound: chiropractic care helps reset the entire system.

Dr. Cromwell, Dr. Shaw, Dr. Dimitriou, and Dr. Wetherbee understand this connection intimately. Their approach at Cromwell Family Chiropractic addresses the whole warrior, not just the wounded parts. Through precise adjustments and compassionate care, they help veterans rediscover what wellness truly feels like.
