	H.R. No. 649



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Chiropractic Association are
	gathering in Austin on March 4, 2015, 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 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 4, 2015, 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.

	Fletcher
