SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 136
|
|
|
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 Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
|
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 a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the Texas Chiropractic Association as an expression of esteem |
|
|
from the Texas Senate. |
