Are you deployable if you have been to Chiropractor in the last 10 years?

I have a soldier at Pre Mob site that is nervous at the Pre MOB SRP. He states there was a questionnaire for medical that asked if you have been to Chiropractor in the last 10 years. He didn't know whether to check box for yes or no because he didn't go for medical but on his own accord where he paid cash and not insurance. He wanted to get an adjustment after working out. He thought he was good to say no because he figured it was if you had to go for medical reasons and ordered by doctor. This was last Sept. He hasn't been back since. Is he good to deploy or not. Need to put his mind at ease. I think he's good to deploy.

I have never heard of Chiropractic treatment as disqualifying. The only way it would be that I could imagine is if it was an ongoing requirement you can't get down range.

The Army has Chiropractors, of course you’re deployable after going. I go to the one here on JBLM routinely.

He will be fine. I went through MOB SRP recently (have broken my back) and still deployed.

Hello and i know this post is old. But how long was it between you breaking your back and you deploying? I hurt my back a couple years ago. didn’t break it just pinched the nerve sort of. They actually called it something but I was never diagnosed with anything. I’m asking because I’m leaving in February and I don’t want them to say anything

Whether he paid for it or it was covered by insurance, the answer to the question is yes. He would be able to explain the circumstances to the provider as he goes through medical. I know it may seem it’s not a big deal, however, to even consider not being fully honest leaves one to question his integrity. Never take an easy left over the hard right. Honesty will get him farther in life than he can imagine.....Good luck to your friend....

Yeah that alone wont keep him from deploying. I'm in the reserves and as a perk at my civilian job they bring in a chiropractor and masseuse once or twice a week. I used them both on the regular. I don't remember if there was a questionnaire asking that when I was at mob site last year, if there was I probably checked yes. They were deploying soldiers with VA disability ratings. I'm at 40% and went, I think a soldier at 80% still deployed with us.

ALWAYS ANSWER HONESTLY. I know of absolutely nonreason it would make you non-deployable or whybit was even asked. But even if someone DOES end up non-deployable, still answer honestly. The potential impact to individual health is too great, plus personal culpabilitybif something does go wrong due to a non-disclosed limitation.
