I have been told to see a Navy Chiropractor due to back pain but Tricare was no help in trying to find one in the Norfolk, VA area (I am a mobilized reservist). Does anyone know the closest Navy chiropractors to the Norfolk area?

There are no "Navy" Chiropractors. Your PCM should have put in a consult to the hospital since they should have contract chiros at the MTF.

Or you could get a consult to Physical Therapy. Any Doctor Of Physical Therapy will be well versed in manipulative as well as able to prescribe exercises, stretching and other electrothermal/ electromagnetic modalites to help with your pain.
The Navy does not have Active Duty Chiro because of the above statements. That would b e a duplication of services available.

??? What
they have Chiro Clinic in all Naval Hospitals and Health Clinics. Yes, you will most likely never see an officer as a MD there but you can or should be able to go to Naval Hospital and beable to get seen at the Chiro Clinic. Then again im not familiar with Norfolk, more so Cherry Point, Lejeune and New River but if they have it then im sure Norfolk would.
