True chiropractic
In my time that I have spent at Sherman college, I have truly come to love chiropractic for what it is. I never knew that there was so much more to chiropractic when I first became a student. At Sherman I have become educated about the importance of a functioning nervous system and how important it is for true chiropractic to live. Sherman strives at teaching a strong chiropractic philosophy and adjusting technique. I have become strong in the chiropractic philosophy and different ways to adjust patients because of my education. I feel that Sherman is the only place where true chiropractic still lives, and I am so grateful that Sherman stands behind its mission to be the leader in bringing straight chiropractic to the world.
