A Range of Skills for Analyzing, Adjusting

Many chiropractic colleges teach a program of proprietary technical approaches that can make it difficult for students to “connect the dots” between options of care. At Sherman College, our core curriculum is designed to equip you with a comprehensive set of analysis and management tools and techniques that can be tailored to each patient’s individual needs.

Students combine new technology, such as spinal imaging, with the fundamentals, such as manual palpation, to achieve the best experience for each individual.
