Service Description
|
Chiropractic services include diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine, under the hypothesis that these disorders affect general health via the nervous system. The main chiropractic treatment technique involves manual therapy, including manipulation of the spine, other joints, and soft tissues. Services often include exercises and health and lifestyle counseling.
Most Medicaid recipients are eligible to receive chiropractic services, but there may be restrictions depending on the person’s type of Medicaid eligibility.
| Chiropractic services are optional. Medicaid's Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) program requires that states offer these services, if medically necessary, to children up to age 21. |
