Are Chiropractic Services Covered by Medicare?
If you’re considering chiropractic care and have Medicare, you might be wondering, “Are chiropractic services covered by Medicare?” This is a great question, and as your chiropractor at Any Spine Chiropractic & Massage Studio, I’m here to provide you with the information you need, even though our office does not accept Medicare.
Medicare and Chiropractic Care: What’s Covered?
The good news is that Medicare does cover certain chiropractic services, but it’s essential to understand the specifics. Medicare Part B covers spinal adjustments when they are medically necessary to correct a subluxation, which is a misalignment of the vertebrae that can cause pain and limited movement.
What Is Covered:
•Spinal Manipulation: Medicare Part B covers manual manipulation of the spine if it’s deemed medically necessary to correct a subluxation. This means that if you have a condition like back pain related to a spinal misalignment, Medicare may help cover the cost of your chiropractic adjustments.
What Is Not Covered:
•Other Chiropractic Services: Medicare does not cover other chiropractic services such as X-rays, massage therapy, acupuncture, or physical therapy. However, many supplemental insurance plans might offer additional coverage, so it’s worth checking your specific plan.
Finding a Chiropractor Who Accepts Medicare
While Any Spine Chiropractic & Massage Studio does not accept Medicare, I want to ensure you get the care you need. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who accepts Medicare, here are some steps to help you find the right provider:
1.Use the Medicare Physician Compare Tool: Visit the official Medicare website and use their “Physician Compare” tool to search for chiropractors in your area who accept Medicare.
2.Ask for Recommendations: You can also ask your primary care physician or friends and family for recommendations for chiropractors who accept Medicare.
3.Contact Local Chiropractic Offices: Reach out to chiropractic offices in your area and inquire about their Medicare policies. This will give you a better idea of the services they offer and how they can assist with your specific condition.

Chiropractic care can be a vital part of managing conditions like back pain, sciatica, and other spinal issues, especially for those looking for a natural, non-invasive treatment option.
