“The body runs on numerous systems but the nervous system is the most important one as it controls everything in your body,” Chiropractor Meleah Mauldin of Mauldin Family Chiropractic said, “Chiropractic focuses on the nervous system; it clears the paths so the body can heal itself.”
The American Chiropractic Association defines chiropractic as “a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health.”
Daniel D. Palmer developed chiropractic at Davenport, Iowa in 1895.

It has been said, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
If so, just call Appalachian & the Community Together (ACT) “Don’t Throw it Away” committee “treasure hunters.”
From May 1 to May 10, in preparation for the annual Big Sale in the fall, “Don’t Throw it Away” will collect discarded items such as furniture and other objects useful for residence halls and apartments.
Students will be able to set aside items in a taped-off area in their dorms on April 28.
Rebecca M. Peterson, a sophomore graphic design major, is on the committee.
