WHEREAS, Doctors of chiropractic are physician-level healthcare providers who focus on the whole
person as part of their hands-on, nondrug approach to pain management and health promotion, and who have
special expertise in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions that may
inhibit movement and physical activity; and
WHEREAS, in addition to expertise in spinal manipulation, chiropractors are trained to recommend
therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, and to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle advice to help people
enhance their physical fitness and overall wellness; and
WHEREAS, chiropractors, who have been listed as part of the essential healthcare workforce by the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security, are also trained to diagnose conditions and to refer patients to other
healthcare providers and specialties when necessary; and
WHEREAS, National Chiropractic Health Month 2021 serves as a reminder to all citizens that doctors
of chiropractic can be key partners in helping them to keep moving by treating pain and improving function
with noninvasive, nondrug approaches that are safe and effective.
