Spinal manipulation

People are born blank slates and are formed gradually into the person they become through personal experiences. A modern day philosopher named John Locke, states that a child’s life “is formed only through experience”. He believes that no matter how children are raised, it is the life experiences that actually influence their life more. This notion that people are not born to do terrible things, but maybe led down that dark path by things they live through. The website Live Science conducted a…

My field of study, physical therapy, betters humanity in many ways. The field of physical therapy is known for returning patients to their maximum level of physical function. In most cases, patients do physical therapy in place of surgery. The physical therapist assistant (PTA) administers the provision of components of the physical therapy treatment. Depending on the needs of the patient, components of a patient’s interventions may be directed to the PTA, instead of the physical therapist.…

codependent or enabling. The basic rule of thumb is don’t enable addiction; however, do support recovery. Be very careful that you don’t get manipulated. Verify all statements made by substance abusers in early recovery to make sure that they’re not manipulations. Trust needs to be earned back over time. “My son has been clean and sober for five years! He just graduated law school and is getting ready to take his bar exams to become an attorney. How can I ever thank you?” A call from a…

It wasn’t unusual for me to hear about guys I were in boarding school with to go home during a break from our studies and return looking to pick fights and cause property damage. Their anger would be short lived, but no one ever held it against them. How could you stay mad at anyone who went home looking to have fun with family and friends and return to school after an engagement party. Yes, matrimonial agreement signings have caused many guys to lose it. Oh, this didn’t happen to everyone who…

In this day in age we are all mutts mixed with various nationalities and roots. At some point in your life your culture doesn’t seem clear. You realize that you are from the United States but you don’t speak English instead you speak Spanish. When you start school you are different you are viewed from classmates as stupid since you go to bilingual classes; Finally you get out of bilingual classes and you feel intelligent and accomplished but now your Spanish starts fading away not on purpose…

2. I believe that a person who suffers abuse from an abuser should be called a surviving victim however, that is not one of my options here so I would have to say that I would pick victim over survivor. One of the reasons that I would chose a victim is because of my past. I grew up in an abusive home and so I was abused by my parents on a regular basis. I know that coming from that state I am a victim and that I survived my abuse but I feel more like a victim than a survivor. I think this…

The most educational and insightful experience I have gained while developing my repertoire of knowledge of the sciences as well as the healthcare field was when I job-shadowed the physiotherapists at the St. Joseph’s Hospital Charlton Campus in Hamilton, Ontario. I observed the physiotherapists at work for a total of 16 hours in a variety of departments which included respiratory, musculoskeletal and acute medicine. It was an excellent opportunity to appreciate the teamwork involved across…

The Effects of Parental Neglect or Death on Children The Lady Matador’s Hotel presents several characters, all of whom meet by chance and intersect each other’s lives, leaving them forever changed. Each of these characters had stories and lives before meeting one another; most of whom continued to write their stories after they had gone their separate ways. What each of these people had in common, regardless of what kind of lifestyle they lived or the background they came from, was that they…

Justice is a dreadful topic to deal with, but that is because it is hard to explain. Not everyone understands that it does not have to be brought by a superhero or a judge, that it can be brought to someone by themselves. Sabella Roa understands that there are many ways to receive and offer justice as long as the receiver lets it in. This means that there is not only a way for the victim to have justice, but the guilty party as well. Because when a justice is offered not everyone takes it, sadly…

Bullying is projected as detrimental to the person who is being hurt. People are not always informed about the one who is doing the bullying and what they have to go through. As a society, the focus on self harm is so heavy it seems as if that is the only option for the people being bullied. Bullying can have worse effects on the bully rather than the person who is being made fun of. We know that bullying is wrong and that it shouldn’t happen, but some say that it made them stronger.…
