It is official, yesterday a group of doctors from the Utah Chiropractic Physician’s Association (UCPA) met with Governor Gary Herbert as he signed a declaration declaring October 2009 as Chiropractic Month.  He spoke of his support of chiropractic and mentioned his gratitude for the work that chiropractors have done for himself, his family, and for Utah.

Back: Dr. Duncan, Dr. Roller, Dr. Stucky, Dr. Birdsley, Dr. Hansen Front: Gov. Herbert

The declaration read:

Whereas, nine out of ten Americans suffer from headaches which can result in loss of time and money for employers and employees alike;

Whereas, chiropractic care is an effective treatment for many types of headaches;

Whereas, chiropractic care offers nearly immediate relief from headache symptoms and ofttimes has fewer side effects and provides longer-lasting relief than many commonly prescribed medications;

Whereas, Doctors of Chiropractic may counsel their patients on life changes, headache triggers, and sleep patterns, as well as offer proactive advice on exercise, stress reduction and nutrition;

Whereas Doctors of Chiropractic are preventative care providers who focus on the health of the “whole person” and have particular expertise in the prevention and care of musculoskeletal injuries; and

Whereas, National Chiropractic Month serves as a reminder about the importance of making good health decisions;

Now Therefore, I, Gary R. Herbert, Governor of the State of  Utah, do hereby proclaim October 2009, as Chiropractic Month.

UCPA Doctors Supported the Ragnar Runners

For those of you who are unaware Ragnar is a group that organizes marathon-like relays all across the country.  In Utah the race is called the Wasatch Back it is a relay race consisting of 180 miles run by over 650 teams with 12 runners per team.  The runners took their turns running from Logan all the way to Park City over a 36 hour period.  Chiropractors from the UCPA were on hand at the 2 largest exchanges to treat runners.  More details on how many injuries and what kind we cared for will be coming soon.  A great time was had by all.

 Chiropractic Night at the Bee’s Ball Game July 11th was great fun. 
THANKS to all that supported the event!

Plan now to attend the UCPA annual Summer party at Oquirrh Park August 1st from 12-6 pm. There will be a BBQ, Band, and great time to socialize with fellow Chiropractors and their staff. Call the Association Office today to register: 801-281-4100 or 877-421-8272

On Friday a press release was sent out announcing the start of our UCPA Public Health Initiative webpage.  It has many great links and helpful information for you to promote chiropractic in your area.  Remember the more we invoke this initiative the more people will associate public health with chiropractors.  When that happens we can be a powerful influence in improving the health of Utahns.

The page needs your help to grow.  We need your stories to submit to the media, we need your content and comments so come check out the new addition to the UCPA website, and help make it grow.

Those who attended… Please share some of your thoughts with us of what you got out of attending!
