I am a 100% disabled veteran on Hawaii Island who had been receiving chiropractic care through the VA twice monthly for several years to help alleviate severe neck pain from my injuries in Vietnam. My VA doctor in Hilo and my Choice care doctor both agree while it won’t cure the problem, which is progressive, it does help with the pain and allows me to function without needing to use as much Tramadol. That is a definite improvement in my quality of life. Recently a VA doctor in Honolulu, whom I’ve never seen, decided that because the chiropractor care was not ‘curing me’, because I’ve continued to need to see him, I should no longer continue to be approved for any more care. The VA has done this to me once before, then relented, and gave me something like 8 appointments that needed to be used in 2 months, when before I had approximately 20 appointments in a year, which was ideal, I could space them out to allow maximum pain management during the year. 4 appointments a month was too much.
I don’t understand why the directives and care plan of my primary Choice doctor, and my VA doctor in Hilo, who know my injuries and what works best to manage my pain and maintain my quality of life are suddenly being ignored and overruled by someone in Honolulu who has never examined or spoken with me. My chiropractor, Dr. Daugherty in Waimea, continues to get approval for other Vets with similar issues to mine.
How do I get this lack of needed care resolved. Thank you.

I heard that they will only see you for service connected issues.
What about everything else like a routine check up, colonoscopy, urology etc.
Thanks
