The Texas Chiropractic Association (TCA) is pleased to announce that Gov. Greg Abbott has signed a declaration proclaiming October 2016 as Chiropractic Health Month. "In this day and age, it is easy to overlook the crucial value of personal health. Having a healthy and wholesome lifestyle can get lost in the shuffle of our everyday challenges, even though it is the binding agent of a long and happy life," said Gov. Abbott in the proclamation. "Therefore, we, as Texans, must remember the importance of maintaining personal health. Thankfully, Texas chiropractors are dedicated to doing just that."

More than 30 million child visits to doctors of chiropractic occur in the United States every year. Chiropractic students undertake extensive theoretical and practical training at the university level, including study of and experience with the pediatric population. DCs are trained to perform a thorough history and examination to determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate and identify a suitable technique. Health professionals of all types face the same considerations when determining age appropriate treatment.
