H.R. No. 649 |
|
||
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. | ||
