TN Chiropractic Association Participates in National ChiroCares Giving Back Day, May 19
Nashville, TN – May 14, 2021 – The Tennessee Chiropractic Association (TCA) and its members across the state will proudly participate in National ChiroCares Giving Back Day (#CHIROCARES) on Wednesday, May 19, 2021. Through this initiative, doctors from coast to coast and across Tennessee will join together in spirit to support their local communities through various acts of service.
Founded in 2020 by the ChiroCongress which represents chiropractic state associations, #CHIROCARES Day was organized to serve as a demonstration of the commitment of the chiropractic profession to assist their patients and local community in achieving good health at this critical time of need. The TCA is proud to once again join with ChiroCongress and the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress in this campaign whose theme this year is supporting mental health for all.
The TCA was a strong supporter for the creation of this campaign to provide our members with opportunities to give back to their communities as a pilot initiative in early 2020. As a result, the 2020 effort partnered with Feeding America to donate meals to local food banks, totaling over $20,000! In addition, relief funds were raised to support those impacted by natural disasters around the country.
ChiroCongress Executive Director Elizabeth Klein, notes that, “Chiropractic care offers a safe, effective, drugfree approach to manage the uptick in pain among individuals as a result of shifts in home and working environments during the pandemic. After a long, hard year, mental health in our communities is not only a top priority, but a necessity to ensure individuals have access to care that will help them manage pain, as well as optimize their wellbeing and quality of life.”
Nationally and in line with this year’s theme, ChiroCongress and F4CP are encouraging individuals to donate to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and/or join their team to participate in NAMIWalks’ United Day of Hope on Saturday, May 22.
TCA Members may also participate on ChiroCares Day by choosing unique ways to give back to their local community. In addition to the care provided daily to their patients, doctors of chiropractic and their staff will take part in focused efforts to help boost positivity, compassion and general well-being in their local communities. Give backs will include activities such as giving blood, thanking first responders and front-line workers, hosting food bank drives and other ways to help the unique needs of their communities.
“We know our doctors are engaged throughout the year in their communities in many different ways,” says TCA Executive Director and ChiroCongress District III Director Tiffany Stevens. “With the continuing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the losses that many suffered due to storms this past year in our state, now, more than ever, we felt it was a good time to join together to serve our neighbors.”
Throughout the pandemic, doctors of chiropractic have taken extra steps to safely and effectively treat their patients in need of care. Many people look to chiropractors to not only treat back and neck pain, but to help them improve their general health and well-being.
“I’m proud to be a part of this national initiative,” says TCA President Dr. Brock Martin who practices in Huntingdon, TN. “It’s a great opportunity to show our care for our neighbors beyond the walls of our clinic, and it’s exciting to think of how our collective efforts will benefit our state and country through each local act of service.”
