Texas Governor Claims Chiropractic Health Month El Paso, TX.

State of Texas

Office of the Governor

As far too many Americans and Texans know, chronic pain remains a huge public health problem and one of the most prevalent reasons why people seek medical care. Chronic pain negatively impacts many aspects of a person’s life as well as the lives of their families, friends, and caregivers. It is essential that patients understand all treatment options for various types of pain.

Chiropractors are highly skilled professionals who are dedicated to providing safe and effective physician-level health care to patients suffering from back pain. Chiropractic care focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system as well as promotes a hands-on, non-drug approach to pain management and healthy lifestyles. Their expertise in the prevention, care, and rehabilitation of back, neck, joint, and head pain is critical for treating patients with various pains and disorders and can save the public from the physical and financial tolls of other treatment options. As a first line of defense against pain, chiropractors’ services can help individuals heal naturally without the need for drugs or surgery.

At this time, I encourage all Texans to learn more about the vital role that chiropractors play in the health care field and how chiropractic services can benefit their lives. I commend Texas chiropractors for their commitment and efforts to improve the quality of life for all Texans by promoting effective pain management and healthy lifestyles.

Therefore, I, Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, do hereby proclaim October 2019, to be

Chiropractic Health Month

in Texas, and urge the appropriate recognition whereof.

In official recognition whereof, I hereby affix my signature this the 18th day of September 2019.

Do you have back, shoulder, neck, leg pain, headaches, or stress? Pain medications work for only so long and don’t fix the problem. A chiropractor can help your symptoms. A chiropractic adjustment means that a chiropractor physically/manually adjusts the vertebrae in the spine. This procedure creates positive effects without the stress or invasiveness of surgery. A chiropractic adjustment can be a great way to improve multiple areas of the body, along with improving overall health with non-invasive treatment.
