Breaking
the Pain Barriers
Ivie
Chen, Med Sci & Chiro

Feeling
lower back pain, or just numb and sore? Perhaps you would
like treatment from a chiropractor
– this is what Ivie Chen is hoping to achieve by the end of
her of study in medical
science and chiropractic science at Macquarie
University.
Ivie Chen has been a student at Macquarie University studying
this course for three years (this is her fourth year). She
has learnt a lot about the human body and its functions. The
structure of the bones and muscles really do play a huge part
of the way the nervous system functions, which in turn affects
the functions of the other systems in the body.
In high school, Ivie was hugely interested in science and
in particular chemistry.
‘Simply because the teacher I used to have was good’, says
Ivie.
Alongside the interest in studying science, Ivie was also
aimed for a career path in health, so as to give care healing
to people with a medical need. With this passion, Ivie steers
on effortlessly in her course.
On April 12th, Ivie had an exam that was worth 45% and so
stayed at home. She arrived at university to take the exam
at 2pm.
