Are you one of the many veterans living with chronic lower back pain (CLBP)?

CLBP is the leading cause of disability among veterans1

Those brave enough to have served and dedicate their lives to their country are not searching for another medication prescription to treat CLBP. They need clinically proven support from an experienced team.

In a 2018 survey, veterans were nearly 3x more likely to experience CLBP compared to nonmilitary workers2

78% of veterans from 5 location diverse VA medical facilities were surveyed and revealed that they have been living with back pain for more than 4 years3

Talk to your doctor about how you can take control of your CLBP with the RelieVRx program.
