According to the PowerPoint, which word is NOT spoken at the VA?

The idea here is how the VA uses clinical language. In VA settings, terms like diagnosis describe a formal medical conclusion, while adjustment and manipulation refer to hands-on care used in musculoskeletal treatment. Subluxation, however, is a term rooted in chiropractic theory and isn’t a standard, universally accepted medical diagnosis in the VA’s language. Because of that, it isn’t spoken in the VA context, making it the one term that doesn’t fit with the others.
