Freedom should include the freedom to move...
Helping those who served stand tall again.
Each month, up to ten veterans are selected to receive a complete three-month recovery plan at no cost.
Operation Iron Will exists to restore motion, confidence, and life after pain, one veteran at a time.
We started this mission for one reason. Too many veterans are living in pain with nowhere to turn. At Conrad Spine and Sport, we’re donating the first month of care for every participant. Community support allows this mission to keep expanding so more veterans can rebuild strength and move freely again.
This isn’t charity. It’s service, the kind that turns generosity into motion.
OPERATION IRON WILL
The mission to move lives forward
Operation Iron Will was created to help veterans living with chronic pain reclaim their strength and their life. This isn’t quick-fix care. It’s a complete three-month recovery plan designed individually for each veteran, that blends movement, functional wellness, rehabilitation, and functional strength training in a measurable, proven process.
We measure outcomes, not promises. Every participant completes baseline testing, progress tracking, and a follow-up evaluation so their results are clear and lasting.
Core Values:
Integrity: Every dollar raised goes directly to patient care.
Service: Veterans receive individualized, one-on-one treatment designed for real change.
Proof: Results are documented and shared in our annual Iron Will Report.
Community: We stand together, because motion builds more than muscles — it builds lives.
MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Nicholas Conrad, DC, MS
Founder of Conrad Spine and Sport — Frisco, TX
I’m a veteran, a rehab chiropractor, and a movement-focused clinician. I started Operation Iron Will because too many veterans live with pain that steals motion, work, and everyday life. This mission gives veterans access to care with dignity — care that listens, tests, and proves results.
At Conrad Spine and Sport, we combine functional medicine, strength-based rehab, and movement restoration into one cohesive system. Every plan is individualized. We test on day one, track progress along the way, and retest to prove what’s changed. When veterans move better, sleep better, and work without fear of flare-ups, life opens back up.
What I believe
Freedom should include the freedom to move
Care should be honest, personal, and measurable
Service never stops, it just changes form
How the mission operates
Step 1 Apply to Join the Mission
Veterans complete a short online application to share their story, goals, and current challenges. Each month, ten veterans are selected based on readiness, need, and fit for this model of care.
Step 2 Begin the First Phase of Care
Each participant starts with a complete evaluation and functional wellness plan that addresses movement, health, and recovery from the inside out. Conrad Spine and Sport provides this first month of care at no cost to every veteran who joins the mission.
Step 3 Rebuild Through Strength and Movement
During months two and three, veterans progress through a personalized combination of functional medicine, strength development, and movement restoration. Each program is designed for measurable outcomes that improve energy, stability, and real-world performance.
Where motion becomes proof
We measure what matters: strength regained, confidence rebuilt, and life restored. Pain relief is just the start. What follows is measurable progress in stability, endurance, and daily function.
Every veteran who completes care contributes to our growing data that shows real recovery is possible when movement and functional medicine work together.
Just Some of The Metrics Tested:
Functional Capacity Score
HRV (Heart Rate Variability)
Pain Interference / Function Index
Strength Load Tolerance
Join the mission in motion
Operation Iron Will exists because our community believes service never stops.
When you support this mission, you’re not making a donation, you’re helping a veteran move forward.
Every contribution directly funds functional medicine and movement-based care for those rebuilding their strength and life after pain.
There are no administrative cuts, no hidden costs, and no wasted effort. Only action and measurable impact.
Every act of support becomes motion. Every motion changes a life.
Freedom should include the freedom to move.
Operation Iron Will is more than a campaign. It’s a promise to serve those who’ve already served us.
Each veteran accepted into the mission receives real care, measurable progress, and the support of a community that believes service never stops.
If you’re a veteran ready to rebuild strength and function, apply today.
If you’re part of a community that believes in giving purpose back to motion, join the mission.
Together, we can turn recovery into a ripple that moves lives forward.
