What is Biology?
Biology is the science of life. Biologists study the structure, func-
tion, growth, origin, evolution and distribution of living organisms.
There are generally considered to be at least nine ‘’umbrella” fields
of biology, each of which consist of multiple subfields. All the
branches of biology can be unified within a framework of five basic
understandings about living things. Studying the details of these five
ideas provides the endless fascination of biological research. In this
magazine we are going to focus on Chiropractic studies and the sci-
ence, biology related to it.
The biology and computer science of Chiropractic medicine.
Computer Science
Computer science is the scientific and practical approach
to computation and its applications. It is the systematic study of
the structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodi-
cal procedures that underlie the acquisition, representation, pro-
cessing, storage, communication of, and access to information,
whether such information is encoded as bits in a computer
memory or transcribed in genes and protein structures in a biolog-
ical cell. An alternate, more succinct definition of computer sci-
ence is the study of automating algorithmic processes that scale.
A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and
Daniel David Palmer was the founder of chiropractic. Palmer
was raised in the southern Ontario area, where he received his
education. Around 1880 he moved to the United States and
took up magnetic healing. It was in Davenport, Iowa where he
met Harvey Lillard, his first patient. In 1897 he opened
the Palmer School of Chiropractic in Davenport and started
teaching his techniques. Lawsuits followed, and after brief in-
carceration, Palmer sold the school to his son, B. J. Palmer. B.
J. greatly expanded the school and the general knowledge of
chiropractic. Palmer moved west, opening several new schools
Dr. Josh Binstock
Dr. Josh Binstock is an Olympic volleyball
player. He is also a licensed chiropractor. He
works at the Total Health and Wellness center.
Binstock got his education in the Canadian
Memorial Chiropractic College. Although the
chiropractic work keeps him busy, he still prac-
tices volleyball in full throttle.
History of chiropractic
The history of chiropractic began in 1895 when Daniel Da-vid Palmer of Iowa performed the first chiropractic adjust-ment on a patient and his name was Harvey Lillard, Harvey Lillard was almost deaf. After Palmer’s adjustment Harvey Lillard started to hear better. This led to Palmer opening a school of chiropractic two years later. The word chiroprac-tic really means “done by hand”. Palmer left his school to his son because of lawsuits that hammered the school. Af-ter that, Palmer went around the United States introducing chiropractic to the public. He opened several schools around the country. In present times, chiropractic has pro-gressed into a genuine medicine field.
Bartlett Joshua Palmer
Bartlett was also known as B.J. Palmer in the
chiropractic industry. B.J. was born in What
Cheer, Iowa. His father is known as the father of
chiropractic. B.J. took over his father´s business

The effect of a
misaligned spine
Having a misaligned
spine can negatively
affect your daily life in a
number of ways. It can
not only cause pain in
the back and neck, but
can also cause pain in
the rest of the body
because of the
pressure that the
misaligned vertebrae
place on nerves in the
spinal column.
For example, many
people suffer from sci-
atica due to a
misaligned vertebral
disc putting pressure
on the spinal nerve
roots. It is a condition
in which pain can be
felt shooting down the
leg as far as the foot.
Normal spine alignment
How does he fix it?
A chiropractor can perform a spinal adjustment to restore proper alignment and
range of movement, relieving pain. You should never try to fix the problem on your
own. Home spinal adjustments are very dangerous and can have a negative affect.
Spinal Subluxation
Spinal subluxations are very common. They occur when one or more of your 24
bony vertebrae are pulled out of alignment with one another. This can happen for a
variety of reasons. Among the most frequent contributors to spinal misalignment are
an injury, a sudden jar, fall or trauma, bad posture, stress, inactivity, obesity, repeti-
tive motions and lifting
something improperly.
What happens? °
When your spine becomes
misaligned, your range of
motion can become more
restricted, with or without
accompanying pain. Alt-
hough spinal misalignments
can happen quickly, they can also occur over time due to weak postural muscles.
This is often the case with those who sit at a desk for hours each day.
How does a chiropractor diagnose a misaligned spine?
A chiropractor can diagnose if your pain is due to your spine being misaligned. He may use a
variety of different diagnostic techniques to determine if your spine is out of alignment. Most
chiropractors can easily spot a subluxation, as body posture reflects any misalignment. For ex-
ample, when lying down, one leg will appear shorter than the other. When standing up, the body
may lean to one side, or the head may tilt to the left or right. Also, one shoulder or hip may ap-
pear higher than the other, and the distribution of body weight may favor one foot or the other.
Fun facts / Did you
know?
1. May Help Torture
Survivors
Torture and trauma are
real horrors that can
cause survivors to experi-
ence pain,depression,
PTSD, and other horrible,
long-term problems.
2.The Amish Like Chiro-
practic Too
The Amish may reject
many of the modern
“conveniences” many of
us enjoy, but there is no
denying that they have
somewhat of a reputation
for embracing a robust,
natural approach to main-
taining good health
3..One of the Most Suc-
cessful Chiropractors
Ever was Blind
Vision impairment does
not make a person inca-
pable, and a fantastic
example of that was Dr.
Charles Robinson John-
son. In 1918, when he
was 39, Dr. Johnson
graduated from the Palm-
er School of Chiropractic
and became the first blind
chiropractor, and one of
Computer Science and Chiropractic.
When it comes to the field of Chiropractic's it’s a old profession
witch has grown and is now world wide. In the age of technology
computers are getting so advance that we practically use them for
every thing for example, there are computers in cars, most media is
on computer these days and medical science has gotten to a grate
point through computer science. There are not many computer
related tools used in Chiropractic but there tough few that are used
like X-ray machines are used to examine the body and bones to
help the chiropractor/ doctor cause chi-
ropractors are not the only ones who
use it but none the less help the chiro-
practor to find what is wrong with the
patient. Here is some information about
the discovery of X-ray. It was a German
physicist Wilhelm Röntgen that is usu-
ally credited as the discoverer of X-rays
in 1895, because he was the first to
systematically study them, though he is
not the first to have observed their ef-
fects. He is also the one who gave them the name "X-rays".
Education
When it comes to Chiropractic there are many fields to choose
from. For example you can open your own clinic, work at a health
care, work for a sports team, be an assistant (very exiting) an so
