VA’s Office of National Veterans Sports Programs and Special Events provides Veterans with opportunities for health and healing through adaptive sports and therapeutic art programs. These specialized rehabilitation events aim to optimize Veterans’ independence, community engagement, well-being, and quality of life.

The programs are built on clinical expertise within VA, with essential support from Veteran Service Organizations, corporate sponsors, individual donors and community partners.

The VA Palo Alto adaptive sports branch aims to connect local Veterans with these resources and additional care, including a monthly on-site integrative clinic addressing individual medical needs and treatment.

The VA Palo Alto Adaptive Sports Medicine Program consists of a team of PM&R and sports medicine physicians, chiropractors, recreation therapists, and physical therapists specialized in treating the adaptive athlete.

We treat injuries, pain and functional issues and also provide athletic training and/or sports performance for Veteran athletes involved in adaptive sports.

If you are interested in joining one of our classes, please call Huy Diep at 650-493-5000 ext. 67538.
