| 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. | ||
| Estes | ||
