As a Hospital Corpsman in the US Navy for more than 12 years, Dr. Constantinides understands the hard work and sacrifice that goes into a military life for the service member and the family. She and the Axis Medical Center staff understand the importance of health and wellness for you and those you love. Unfortunately, Tricare will not cover chiropractic services performed at our clinic.
To right the ship, we invite our active duty and retiree patients, and their dependents, to take advantage of our Military Appreciation Program. Our experienced health care associates will work with you to ensure you receive the care you need and deserve.
To all of our nation’s active duty members, veterans, and military family members, we say thank you.
