| From: | Senator David G. Argall |
| To: | All Senate members |
| Subject: | Recognizing the Month of October 2022 as "Chiropractic Health Month" in Pennsylvania |
| In the near future, I will introduce resolution designating October 2022 as Pennsylvania Chiropractic Health Month. The purpose of this resolution is to commemorate the hard work done by Pennsylvania-licensed Doctors of Chiropractic that focus on the whole person in their care approach to pain management and health care. Over 100 million Americans suffer with chronic pain and an estimated 75 to 85 percent of all Americans will experience some form of back pain during their life time. Doctors of chiropractic, who focus on the whole person with their non-drug, noninvasive treatments for pain management – most notably spinal manipulation – can play an important role in helping patients lessen their reliance on pain medications Numerous studies support the early use of chiropractic spinal manipulation in helping patients with chronic low back pain to reduce or eliminate their need later for prescription opioid pain medications and surgery Please join me in co-sponsoring this resolution which will raise public awareness that chiropractic care is the primary first-line, non-pharmacologic approach to safely and effectively relieve acute, subacute and chronic pain. |
