Chiropractors in VA facilities typically work under indirect medical supervision from an Integrative Medical Physician or Physical Therapist. Indirect supervision means the supervisor isn’t in the treatment room for every appointment, but is available for consultation, reviews treatment plans, and approves care to ensure it fits the patient’s overall medical and rehabilitation plan. This setup supports coordinated, multidisciplinary care, aligns chiropractic care with other medical services, and enhances patient safety within the VA system. The other arrangements don’t fit because constant on-site physician presence, no oversight, or nursing supervision don’t reflect how VA chiropractic services are integrated and overseen.
