A Note from the President

Sherman College of Chiropractic was founded by Drs. Thom and Betty Gelardi on the premise that its students would be educated and trained to become doctors of chiropractic who focus on the analysis and adjustment of vertebral subluxation. For 50 years, that has been our sole purpose.  We use the latest scientific objective indicators to help guide our students in the analysis of vertebral subluxation so that they are competent and confident doctors of chiropractic.

 

We teach the founding principles and philosophy that have stood the test of time and we offer a variety of techniques so that our students can deliver the best chiropractic adjustment that is needed for their particular patient. Knowing when and when not to adjust is the truest test of competency. Our faculty, staff and administration are committed to educating our students, knowing that this commitment will assure that communities throughout the world who are served by Sherman graduates are being served by some of the best that the profession has to offer.

Dr. Jack Bourla, DC, ACP
