RADIX PAIN VETERANS CHIROPRACTIC CARE

At Radix Pain & Rehabilitation Centre, we are proud to provide Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) chiropractic care in Edmonton for Canadian veterans and eligible clients. Our goal is to make accessing treatment as simple as possible by offering direct billing with Medavie Blue Cross, allowing you to focus on your recovery rather than paperwork.

Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, a service-related injury, neck pain, back pain, headaches, joint problems, or mobility limitations, our experienced chiropractors provide evidence-informed care designed to help you return to the activities that matter most.

No physician referral is required to begin treatment.
