“The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease” by Thomas A. Edison. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments on the spine which will enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. Chiropractic care began in 1895 when its founder, Daniel David Palmer, claimed any and all diseases could be healed by nothing more than just his hands. Dr. Palmer examined a janitor who was deaf for 17 years after the janitor felt his back was out of place, so Dr. Palmer gave an adjustment to what was felt to be a misplaced vertebra in the upper back. The janitor then observed that his hearing improved thanks to Dr. Palmer. Chiropractors use manipulation to restore mobility to joints restricted by tissue injury caused by sitting without proper back support. Chiropractic is primarily used as a pain relief alternative for muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue, such as cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. About 22 million Americans visit chiropractors annually

An incredible tower like the CN Tower is beautiful in itself but I believe that there should be something else added to it. It was known for its glory of being the tallest but now it is the third tallest tower in the world. One way is to add an extension to the tower. Many more people will come to see the extension of the building and experience many of the activities it has to offer. The wait might be long but this tower has already shown what it can provide to the people and making it the tallest once again will definitely bring up the CN Tower's reputation, making an increase in profit as well. The CN Tower is always known for its height and its ability to let people do the impossible up in the air; it is time to surpass what it has been known for and reach for a higher goal.
The word “chiropractor” has two word origins, the Greek words cheir and praxis; meanwhile, cheir means “hand” and praxis means “practice.” Also, most of the work that chiropractors do is done by hand (Pike para. 5). In 2002, going to a chiropractor was found to be the most commonly used program for therapy. Seventy-four percent, about 4 million, of people that had back pain went to a chiropractor to get treated. Among that 74 percent of people, 66 percent of them stated that they got “a great benefit” (Pike para. 9). Many chiropractors work full time but 1 out of 3 chiropractors work part time. Chiropractors work whenever their patients need them, even on w...

A Chiropractor mainly focus on the proper alignment of the spinal area, and they also focus on the nervous system. On a typical day, Chiropractors usually see about 30 to 40 patients every day. When a patient comes in the office, the patients are walked to intersegmental traction table, which is table that mobilizes the spine to make it easier to access for the chiropractor. The patient would lay on the table for around 7-15 minutes, then walk into the doctor’s office. In his office, the patient would say where they have been feeling the pain for the past days, and the Chiropractor would record that and he would start to adjust her. What the chiropractor would need to know is where the patient feels the pain. Then he would need to check all of the x-rays and check for misalignment of the spine and diseases in the spine. Then he would adjust the patients in the need areas, then they would see the secretary to schedule there next appointment and make payments for that day.

The Eiffel tower because both Ferris wheel and Eiffel tower were amazing sites to look at. “ The Eiffel Tower was built for the International Exhibition of Paris of 1889 commemorating the centenary of the French Revolution. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of England, opened the tower. Of the 700 proposals submitted in a design competition, Gustave Eiffel's was unanimously chosen. However it was not accepted by all at first, and a petition of 300 names - including those of Maupassant, Emile Zola, Charles Garnier (architect of the Opéra Garnier), and Dumas the Younger - protested its construction. At 300 meters (320.75 m including antenna), and 7,000 tons, it was the world's tallest building until 1930.” (http://www.corrosion-doctors.org/).This shows that the Eiffel Tower was a very big contributor to Pris’s sucess.But The Ferris Wheel was a big part o Chicago’s success.” In the late 1890, Daniel Burnham, the eminent architect charged with turning a boggy square mile of Chicago into a world-dazzling showpiece,
