A RESOLUTION

Commending the Chiropractic Fellowship of Pennsylvania for its

educational efforts, and recognizing the month of September

2010 as "Vertebral Subluxation Awareness Month" in

Pennsylvania.

WHEREAS, Optimum performance and health of the human body

depends on the unfettered, free transmission of mental impulses,

or nerve impulses, between the brain and all cells, tissues and

organs; and

WHEREAS, The flow of mental impulses between the brain and

the body passes through the vertebrae of the spinal column; and

WHEREAS, Blockages of mental impulses, called vertebral

subluxations, occur when a vertebra misaligns, occludes an

opening, impinges on a nerve or otherwise interferes with

neurotransmission; and

WHEREAS, A vertebral subluxation can occur regardless of the

presence or absence of symptoms; and

WHEREAS, Doctors of chiropractic are the licensed

professionals uniquely trained to locate, analyze and correct

vertebral subluxations that compromise a person's health and

well-being; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives commend the

Chiropractic Fellowship of Pennsylvania for its efforts in

educating the public about the importance of having spinal

checks for vertebral subluxations; and be it further

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives recognize the

month of September 2010 as "Vertebral Subluxation Awareness

Month" in Pennsylvania.
