Chiropractic is a separate and distinct profession that enables its users to experience life to its fullest. Misaligned vertebrae can negatively affect the signals traveling through the nervous system (these misalignments are called vertebral subluxations). By carefully analyzing the nervous system and the spine, chiropractors can detect interference to the proper functioning of the nervous system. An altered nervous system may hinder a person’s ability to function optimally and may be associated with pain, dysfunction and lowered performance.
Chiropractors concern themselves with the location, analysis and assisting the body to correct vertebral subluxations so that its users may have their proper function restored and live their lives to their fullest.
Why is Philosophy So Important?
Sherman College was founded in 1973 by Dr. Thomas A. Gelardi to nurture and advance a simple and powerful idea: that all control of bodily function comes from above-down, inside-out. The brain sends instructional information to the body via the spinal cord (from above-down) and from the spinal cord to the systems, organs, tissues and cells of the body (from inside-out). When signals are sent from the brain and received by the body without interference due to vertebral subluxations, optimum function takes place. This principle is represented in Sherman College’s logo by the four arrows.
Gelardi sought to protect and advance the philosophy of chiropractic as being vertebral subluxation centered. He envisioned an environment where chiropractic would be taught, studied, advanced, and then shared worldwide for the ultimate good of humanity. Sherman College carries on that purpose today. Sherman provides a superlative chiropractic education that is consistent with the principles, goals and objectives of the profession.
