The Sherman Difference
"I'll probably visit a couple more schools, just to be sure, but I believe Sherman will be a tough act to follow.
Between the friendliness of the people (which any aspiring chiropractor could benefit from acquiring), the individual attention afforded by the low student-to-teacher ratio, the straight philosophy, the tranquil setting, and the low cost of living, I can't conceive of a better place to embark upon my chiropractic journey.
Previous to my visit, I was resolved in my decision to become a chiropractor but Sherman lit a fire in me!"
--Myron Gudmundson, Snohomish, WA, from Pride of Sherman tour Oct. '08
Is Sherman College really different from the others?
You bet we are, and we are proud of of our focus on straight chiropractic!
Our mission calls us to educate, graduate, and support competent, compassionate, ethical and successful doctors of chiropractic who excel as primary health care providers centered on vertebral subluxation correction.
This is a tall order – but we meet the challenge because the focus of our curriculum is on vertebral subluxation education, which transcends the typical "symptom treatment" model of health care.
A Sherman education gives students a distinct advantage. They have the ability to integrate the duties of a primary care chiropractic provider from a modern-day health care perspective with an appreciation for vitalistic principles – mainly that the body is a self-regulated, self-healing organism.
We acknowledge and appreciate the potential for improved health when the body is free of interference from vertebral subluxation. At Sherman College, chiropractic care is more than just symptom relief.
It’s about helping people of all ages – from infancy to active senior living – to enjoy better health under chiropractic care.
That’s the Sherman Difference!
