WHEREAS, during the month of October 2019, the city of Georgetown will join the American Chiropractic
Association in observing National Chiropractic Health Month; and
WHEREAS, chiropractors are physician-level providers who focus on the whole person in their conservative
approach to pain management and health care, and have expertise in the prevention, care and rehabilitation of
musculoskeletal injuries and conditions; and
WHEREAS, chiropractors recognize through research and clinical experience that a sedentary lifestyle can
diminish joint health, wellness and longevity; and
WHEREAS, physical activity not only helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and
some cancers, it also strengthens bones and muscles and helps reduce the incidence of low back pain; and
WHEREAS, the goal of the observance is to raise public awareness of the benefits of chiropractic care and its
natural, whole-person, patient-centered and drug-free approach to health and wellness and encourage people to
move more now so they will be able to move better later.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DALE ROSS, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS,
do hereby proclaim October 2019 as
NATIONAL CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH MONTH
In Georgetown, Texas
