SJR 61 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates October of each year as "Chiropractic Health Month" in NJ.

SJR 61 designates October of each year as "Chiropractic Health Month" in New Jersey to raise public awareness of chiropractic care as a drug-free treatment option for musculoskeletal conditions. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging state agencies, organizations, and citizens to participate in activities promoting chiropractic health. It does not create new laws, funding, or requirements but aims to highlight chiropractic adjustments as a safe, evidence-based alternative to pain medications for conditions like back pain. This is a ceremonial resolution focused on recognition, not policy change.
