SPARTANBURG, SC - On May 27, Sherman College held a ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony for the first new facility on campus in 20 years. The new building is named in honor of Theron Olsen and his wife, Selma, long-time patrons of the college. The ceremony took place during Lyceum, the college's annual event for alumni, students and friends featuring educational workshops, seminars and special events to celebrate and promote chiropractic.
The Olsens, of Sandy, Utah, donated $300,000 to Sherman College for the construction of the new facility and have been members of the Sherman Board of Regents since 1982. Dr. Olsen is a 1941 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic and was named "Chiropractor of the Year" in 1986 by Sherman College.
"We wanted to give back to chiropractic for what it has meant to us in our lives," Dr. Olsen explained. "I made a pledge to Dr. (Lyle) Sherman that I would support this college, and I have supported Sherman College to this day and will continue to support it for the rest of my life."
The 5,000-square-foot classroom facility provides the college with two classrooms, several faculty offices and a lobby. The college has also leveled and graded an area behind the building for general use as a sports and recreation field. This provides students with additional opportunities to pursue organized and social athletic activities and special events.

"Distinguished Service Award" - Dr. Roxzanne Breland

When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
