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.
