Chiropractic care for veterans
We proudly partner with the TRIWEST Community Care Network, giving eligible veterans convenient access to chiropractic care through the VA referral system.
If you are a veteran dealing with chronic pain, musculoskeletal injuries, or mobility issues, our team is here to support your recovery and improve your quality of life.
We have worn the uniform
Trident was founded by Dr. Marielle Schultz, DC, who served eight years on active duty in the United States Marine Corps and has continued her service in the Marine Corps Reserve since 2018. That background is the reason this clinic exists.
Military service leaves a specific footprint on a body: loaded rucks, hard landings, repetitive stress, and years of pushing through. We do not need that explained to us.
What we commonly treat for veterans
- Chronic low back and neck pain
- Service-connected joint injuries
- Disc injuries and radiculopathy
- Shoulder, hip, and knee pain
- Post-surgical return to activity
- Mobility limitations and stiffness
- Tendinopathy from repetitive load
- Headaches related to neck dysfunction
- Return to strength training after injury
How to be seen through the VA
Eligible veterans can receive chiropractic care at Trident through a VA community care referral. Here is the path.
Ask for a referral
Talk to your VA primary care provider and request a community care referral for chiropractic care. Name Trident in Kearny Mesa.
Referral reaches TRIWEST
The VA sends the authorization to TRIWEST. Once it is issued, TRIWEST or the VA will contact you to schedule.
Call us directly
Call 619-268-1345 and we will confirm your authorization and get you on the schedule. If something is stuck, we will help you chase it.
Eligibility and authorization are determined by the VA, not by Trident. Call us and we will tell you where you stand before you book.
Use the benefits you earned
Call the clinic and we will walk you through the referral process end to end.
