Abstract/Notes

Objective: The purpose of this case series is to describe coordination of care between chiropractic and behavioral health practitioners within an integrated hospital-based system.

Clinical Features: Three individuals presented to a US Veterans Affairs Health Care system with musculoskeletal complaints for chiropractic care. Each person demonstrated symptoms of depression or anxiety and in 2 cases indicated passive suicidal ideation.

Intervention and Outcome: The chiropractors referred the patients to a mental health provider for co-management. Different approaches to mental health care were offered to each of these patients to meet their individual preferences and needs as part of an evidence informed approach. One patient underwent individual cognitive behavioral therapy; 1 patient responded well to individual cognitive behavioral therapy before transitioning to group-based pain skills, resiliency, and mindfulness therapy; and 1 patient required additional referral to Primary Care-Mental Health Integration for pharmacologic treatment. The 3 patients responded positively to interdisciplinary care and realized functional improvements and improved patient reported outcomes as assessed with the 11-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale and Neck or Back Bournemouth Questionnaire.

Conclusion: This case series describes the recognition of mental health symptoms, referral to behavioral health providers, and the subsequent treatment approaches. This case series presents the first description of co-managed care for US veterans by a chiropractor and psychologist.
