Sherman Returns to Original Name: Sherman College of Chiropractic

Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic is now known as Sherman College of Chiropractic. The college's Board of Trustees voted unanimously to authorize the name change during its fall meeting.

Sherman College of Chiropractic is the name under which the college was founded in 1973; the college added the word "Straight" to the name in the late 1970s.

"The college will always remain true to its roots, providing a curricular focus on traditional chiropractic," said Sherman President Jon C. Schwartzbauer, DC. "Our founding name better reflects who we are - a contemporary educational institution committed to providing the best education possible, an institution with a strong commitment to educational progress, and an institution geared to meeting the demands of chiropractic students, both today and in the future."

College personnel will spend the coming months revising college promotional materials as well as the college Web site to reflect the name change.

Squaring the Geriatric Curve

The geriatric curve – the progressive decline in our health, fitness, mental capacity, and overall constitution – graphically appears as a downward sloping line over time. It is a culmination of the effects of sarcopenia, postural deterioration, frailty, and chronic noncommunicable diseases that occur as we age. While aging cannot be reversed, the goal is to reduce the negative slope or “square off” the curve, thus avoiding a steady decline in health. Here are five ways to get your patients started.

How Chiropractors Can Make It the Best of Times
The Best of Times, the Worst of Times

Imagine an environment in which DCs are tightly integrated with their local healthcare system; a trusted resource for PCPs, specialists and self-insured employers; are reimbursed in alignment with value created; use modern technology enabling them to fully engage with their patients; are self-governed; and are able to maintain a fulfilling work-life balance. In the final part of this three-part series, we explore three areas for chiropractors to focus on to leave the current foolishness behind and create “the best of times” for DCs and their patients.
