Chiropractic Flying High in Texas

Congress has approved a $750,000 appropriation to allow Texas Chiropractic College to provide comprehensive chiropractic and pain management services to the 147th Fighter Squadron of the Texas Air National Guard at Ellington Field. The grant was approved as part of the fiscal year 2003 Defense Appropriations bill that funds the operations of the Department of Defense, including its health care programs. The program will include prevention, intervention and health promotion to directly target reducing disability and maximizing prevention and recovery in military aviation personnel.
