Bill > SR156

This resolution recognizes October 2025 as "National Chiropractic Health Month" in Pennsylvania, highlighting the importance of musculoskeletal (MSK) health and the role of chiropractic care. The resolution provides context about MSK health, explaining that it involves bones, muscles, and joints, and is crucial for maintaining physical activity, independence, and overall well-being as people age. It notes that MSK conditions are a leading cause of chronic pain, with back pain being a significant global health issue projected to affect over 800 million people in the next 30 years. The resolution emphasizes the expertise of Doctors of Chiropractic in treating musculoskeletal conditions through non-drug approaches, including spinal manipulation, nutrition advice, and lifestyle modifications. It also references medical guidelines that support non-invasive treatments for back and chronic pain. The theme for the 2025 National Chiropractic Health Month, "Get Started with Chiropractic," aims to remind Pennsylvania residents that chiropractic care can help maintain and improve their musculoskeletal health throughout their lifetime.
