A Clear Path Forward for Your VA Disability Claim

Start with clarity on your VA disability claim.

If you are a veteran dealing with chronic pain, injury, or long-standing musculoskeletal or neuromuscular conditions, clarity is the most important first step in your VA disability claim.

Clarity about whether a medical evaluation is appropriate.
Clarity about how your condition should be documented for VA disability.
Clarity about what actually matters before you move forward.

Without clarity, many veterans repeat exams, submit incomplete documentation, or move forward without understanding how their condition relates to service connection. This process exists to change that.

We provide thorough, evidence-based medical evaluations and opinions to help veterans make informed decisions about their VA disability claims.

Why clarity matters in VA disability claims

Many veterans come to us after years of appointments, imaging, and prior VA exams, yet still feel uncertain about their disability claim.

Not because they failed to seek care.


But because their condition was never fully evaluated or explained in context.

Complex neuromuscular and musculoskeletal injuries require time, careful review of medical records, and clinical reasoning. When that process is rushed or fragmented, important details can be missed.

Our approach is built around doing this correctly, not quickly.

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Nicholas Conrad, DC, MS
Founder of Conrad Spine and Sport — Frisco, TX

I am a veteran and a rehab chiropractor who understands how service related injuries evolve over time. Pain rarely stays isolated. It alters movement, workload tolerance, and daily function.

Veteran Services at Conrad Spine and Sport exists to bring clarity to that progression.

Our process is structured and documentation driven. We begin with a records informed review and a focused in person assessment. When appropriate, we provide DBQs and Nexus letters that are medically sound, evidence based, and clearly supported by both history and objective findings.

Care at Conrad Spine and Sport is not generic. We assess biomechanical compensation, identify secondary conditions, and connect them back to established service connected injuries using defensible clinical reasoning.

This is not advocacy or guesswork. It is a professional medical process built to reduce friction, eliminate confusion, and respect the veteran’s time and record.

What I believe

Clear process.

Clear documentation.

Clear next steps.

Who this is for

This service is appropriate for veterans who:

  • Have ongoing musculoskeletal or neuromuscular conditions

  • Believe their condition may be related to military service

  • Have had prior exams that felt incomplete or unclear

  • Want an independent medical evaluation done carefully and ethically

  • Want to understand their position before taking the next step

If you are unsure what your next step should be, this is where you start.

How the mission operates

  • Step 1: Records review

    Every case begins with a medical records review. This allows us to determine whether a medical evaluation and medical opinion are appropriate before any exam is scheduled.

    This step exists to prevent unnecessary cost, repeated examinations, and unclear expectations.

    Records review fee: $150

    Veterans outside North Texas may be eligible for Telehealth evaluation following records review, when clinically appropriate.

  • Step 2: Comprehensive medical evaluation

    If a medical evaluation is appropriate, we proceed with a thorough exam focused on your condition, history, and functional limitations.

    The time allotted is based on what your case requires, not on volume or scheduling pressure.

    Comprehensive Medical Evaluation and NEXUS Opinion: $500
    Additional related medical opinions, when appropriate: $300 each

  • Step 3: Medical documentation

    When indicated, documentation is prepared to meet VA evidentiary standards and reflect the findings of your evaluation accurately and clearly.

    Medical opinions must be evidence based and defensible. Outcomes are determined by the VA, not the examiner.

  • Step 4: Move forward with clarity

    Whether you proceed, pause, or redirect, you leave with a clear understanding of where you stand and what your options are.

    That clarity allows you to move forward with confidence instead of guesswork.

Availability

To ensure accuracy and attention to detail, availability is intentionally limited.

We work with no more than 15 veterans per month so every case receives the time and consideration it requires.

Start here

If you are unsure about your next step in the VA disability process, start with clarity.

The first step is a records review to determine whether a medical evaluation and opinion are appropriate for your claim.

Together, we can turn recovery into a ripple that moves lives forward.
