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 Senate 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 Senate recognize the month of September

2010, as "Vertebral Subluxation Awareness Month" in

Pennsylvania.
