Welcome to the Sherman College Research Department. The mission of the Research Department is to pursue scientific research concerning the characteristics, analysis and correction of vertebral subluxations, as well as to assist in the dissemination of chiropractic educational information. Research training is also provided to students and faculty, as well as opportunities for the College constituency to engage in meaningful research. The Department’s interests lie in the development of objective measures of assessing the vertebral subluxation, particularly in regard to its biomechanical and neurological components. Investigations into the effects of subluxation correction involve assessments of human physical and mental performance as well as physiological effects. The Department is also committed to the development of methods of assessing chiropractic adjusting skills. State of the art technology allowing for evaluation of data from 3-D images of the actual adjustment will provide information that allows students and instructors to critique progress in acquiring expertise in administering the chiropractic adjustment.
