The Chiropractic Straight Advantage

At the heart of Sherman College’s mission is what is known as "straight" chiropractic. This means we have a total commitment to the teaching, research and chiropractic practice that places its focus on the correction of vertebral subluxation. This focus on the correction of vertebral subluxation encompasses a broader view of the purpose of chiropractic care. 

Doctors of straight chiropractic desire to help their patients maximize their potential for overall good health and well-being by removing nerve interference due to vertebral subluxations.  (This is in contrast to chiropractic care that is directed only toward the alleviation of pain or other symptoms caused by neuromusculoskeletal or other conditions.)

Through this unique focus, Sherman graduates are able to make a huge impact on the health and lives of their patients by helping the body to function at its best, without interference from subluxation.

At Sherman, our focused instruction includes a modern-day, primary care provider emphasis that provides students with a solid foundation built on “straight” principles from which to draw as they serve thousands of people in their future practices all over the world. 

The primary goal of a straight chiropractic education is to provide students instruction in effective methods for finding and correcting misalignments of the vertebra which disturb nerve function and interfere with the body’s ability to maintain its own health. 

Sherman College offers an environment of like-minded, health-conscious students and faculty who respect the body’s innate recuperative ability and choose to specialize in eliminating the negative impact of vertebral subluxations on a person’s health and performance.

That’s the Straight Advantage.
