I think I’ve always been aware of what D.D. and B.J. Palmer termed “universal intelligence.” And somehow I understood the concept of “innate intelligence” as well. Imagine the wonder and excitement I felt when I came to understand that the purpose/goal of chiropractic is to remove the interference that occurs in the nervous system due to subluxations.
Imagine the thrill I felt when I learned that I could be taught to correct vertebral subluxations and thus participate in the healing and maintenance of the body in a most natural way! To connect with Sherman College and this concept was what I had been searching for!
And so, here I am! Truly fulfilling my dream. It’s a large and sometimes daunting task but never, ever, have I looked back and thought there was another path for me.
I am what some would call a “non-traditional student.” Along with helping my husband build an architectural practice in New England, I have also had a previous career of teaching Montessori preschool. Fondly I remember the many important life lessons learned and the many children taught and raised.
Yet, I will always say that my most important job has been as a mother. Proudly I can say that I have one son attending Sherman along with me, one son pursuing his Bachelor of Science degree in physics in Maine and a young daughter in 4th grade here in Spartanburg. My husband remains in Boston working as an architect, building schools.
Chiropractic is not just a profession. It is an art, science and philosophy. Chiropractic is a lifestyle, one that is good for you and me!

Married with two young children and working in the family chiropractic office as a massage therapist, Melinda Hallam realized she still had more than 30 years of work ahead of her, and she wanted to do something she was passionate about. So she put her fears aside and enrolled at Sherman College. When she graduates, she’ll join her father and uncle as a doctor of chiropractic.
Growing up in the chiropractic lifestyle, Ryan Burkhart was inspired by science and health as a sophomore in high school and decided then that he would follow his father’s footsteps and enroll at Sherman. “I saw Sherman as the place to think of both the why and the how of chiropractic,” he explains.
