Canadian Armed Forces Care
Canadian Armed Forces Coverage
Chiropractic Care Covered Through Blue Cross
Chiropractic care is covered for members of the Canadian Armed Forces through Blue Cross.
Active service members and veterans place significant physical demands on their bodies. Repetitive strain, heavy load-bearing, training injuries, and past trauma can all contribute to ongoing pain and reduced mobility. At the Muscle & Joint Clinic, we focus on helping military personnel manage pain safely, restore movement, and improve overall function—without relying on medication.
Supporting Chronic Pain & Injury Recovery
Chronic pain often develops when injuries are ignored, pushed through, or treated only at later stages. Over time, repeated stress and unresolved injuries can affect not just physical health, but daily performance and quality of life.
Our clinical approach focuses on:
Identifying the root cause of pain
Improving joint mobility and stability
Restoring strength, flexibility, and control
Reducing reliance on pain medications
Why Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free approach to pain management and injury recovery.
Treatment may include:
Precise spinal and joint adjustments
Soft-tissue therapy
Movement and rehabilitation strategies
Postural and ergonomic guidance
When the body is properly aligned and moving well, it heals more efficiently and experiences less strain.

Did You Know:
MSK injuries affect readiness: Muscle and joint injuries are a major reason some CAF members have to leave service early and are also a common reason someone may not be able to deploy.
Overuse injuries are very common in pilots: In a study of 73 active CAF pilots, overuse/repetitive strain injuries were reported by 80% of female pilots and 49% of male pilots.
Sudden (acute) injuries are also common: In the same pilot study, 65% of female pilots and 43% of male pilots reported an acute injury serious enough to affect work.
Chronic pain is widespread in serving members and Veterans: In a large Canadian follow-up survey, about half of currently serving members (50.6%) and about two-thirds of Veterans (67.1%) reported having at least one long-term pain condition (such as back problems, arthritis, migraines, or certain gastrointestinal conditions).
