Supporting Those Who Serve: Crack Shack’s Patriot Project and Community Impact
Introduction
When it comes to healthcare, service members and their families often face unique challenges. Between demanding schedules, physical stress from duty, and frequent moves, consistent access to wellness care can be difficult. Recognizing this, Crack Shack Chiropractic in Cary, NC launched the Patriot Project—a community-focused initiative dedicated to supporting active-duty military, veterans, and their families with chiropractic services.
This article explores what the Patriot Project is, why it matters, and how it reflects Crack Shack’s broader mission of making chiropractic care accessible to everyone.
What Is the Patriot Project?
The Patriot Project is a nationwide movement designed to ensure that members of the U.S. military, veterans, and their families have access to chiropractic care. Chiropractors who participate commit to providing free or discounted adjustments to those who serve.
