WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Chiropractic Association are |
|
|
gathering in Austin on February 6, 2013, to celebrate Texas |
|
|
Chiropractic Association Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since the founding of chiropractic in 1895, |
|
|
physicians trained in this discipline have provided natural and |
|
|
conservative methods of health care without the use of surgery or |
|
|
medication; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Doctors of chiropractic devote careful attention to |
|
|
the biomechanics, structure, and function of the spine, its effects |
|
|
on the musculoskeletal and neurological systems, and the role |
|
|
played by the proper function of these systems in the preservation |
|
|
and restoration of health; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While patients visit chiropractors for a myriad of |
|
|
reasons, many are looking for relief from back pain; more than 31 |
|
|
million Americans suffer from this pervasive condition and one-half |
|
|
of all working Americans admit to having this symptom, many |
|
|
experiencing pain severe enough for them to seek professional help; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Chiropractic Association has served the |
|
|
interests of doctors of chiropractic and chiropractic patients |
|
|
across Texas since 1916; the organization and its members work to |
|
|
contain and lower health care costs while providing increased |
|
|
access to care for millions in the Lone Star State; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Practitioners of chiropractic play a vital role in |
|
|
meeting the health care needs of countless Texans, and their |
|
|
notable contributions to the citizens of this state are indeed |
|
|
deserving of commendation; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 6, 2013, as Texas |
|
|
Chiropractic Association Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm |
|
|
welcome to the men and women of the association; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the Texas Chiropractic Association as an expression of |
|
|
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
