A Winner in and Out of the Office
Dr. Logan Sherman, a 2013 graduate of Parker University, won the 2015 Dallas Marathon on Dec. 13 with a finishing time of 2:27:28. Dr. Sherman practices at two locations in the Dallas area; not surprisingly, he works with many collegiate and professional athletes.
"I've trained 15 years for this," said Dr. Sherman after winning the race. "Every day has had a purpose. It's always led toward the Dallas Marathon. ... To cross the line first ... This has been my dream. This trumps everything."
As you might expect, Dr. Sherman competed in track and field in high school and college. At Parker University, he served as class president, and ran the 5K (which he won every year he was at Parker) and anchored the university's 10-mile relay team at the annual Chiro Games.

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.
