VA Community Care Provider

Getting started is straightforward:

1. Talk to your VA primary care provider. Request a referral for chiropractic care, just as you would for any other specialty.
2. VA confirms your eligibility. Based on MISSION Act criteria — including appointment availability, drive time, and local VA services — the VA determines whether you qualify for community care.
3. Receive your referral and authorization. Once approved, the VA issues a referral to an in-network community provider. You or a VA staff member can then schedule your appointment at Sleppy Chiropractic.
4. Get the care you need. Visit our office in Indiana, PA for your chiropractic evaluation and treatment. The VA handles billing directly — there is no out-of-pocket cost for authorized services.

Pennsylvania is part of CCN Region 1, administered by Optum Public Sector Solutions. For referral questions, contact the VA Community Care line at 877-881-7618 (Option 1 for Veterans).

Dr. Sleppy has served the Indiana, PA, community for over 20 years, providing drug-free, non-surgical care for patients of all ages. Alongside associate doctors Dr. Ludwig and Dr. Link, he leads a 100 Year Lifestyle Chiropractic clinic focused on identifying root causes and designing personalized plans for long-term health and function.

Veterans trust our practice because we:

• Understand the referral process. We work with VA-referred patients regularly and can help you navigate Community Care authorization.
• Offer advanced therapies. Our office provides spinal decompression, shockwave, and laser treatment — non-invasive options many practices don’t have.
• Take a whole-person approach. We treat the underlying condition, not just symptoms. Many veterans find lasting improvement through consistent chiropractic care after years of managing pain with medication.
• Provide a welcoming environment. Every veteran is treated with respect and gratitude.

Veterans often experience musculoskeletal conditions resulting from active duty, physical training, or the physical demands of service. Common conditions we treat include:

• Chronic low back pain
• Neck pain and cervical disc issues
• Sciatica and radiating leg pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Shoulder, hip, and knee pain
• Degenerative disc disease
• Post-injury recovery and rehabilitation
• Postural imbalances and spinal misalignment
• Numbness and tingling in the extremities
• General stiffness and reduced range of motion

If you are experiencing any of these conditions and have VA health care benefits, chiropractic care may be available to you through the Community Care Program.
