Meet Ryan!

My name is Ryan Burkhart. My father is a Sherman College alumnus and this played an immense role in my life and enrollment at Sherman College. I grew up under what is often called the “chiropractic lifestyle.” Typically this refers to a mentality that an adjustment will help the body deal with most ailments. It also avoids drug use and vaccination, labeling them detrimental to your overall health.

Therefore, when I became interested in the sciences and health in high school, I knew the “traditional” medical model wouldn’t be a good fit for me. So, my sophomore year of high school I decided to start working for enrollment in chiropractic school.

I think I ultimately ended up at Sherman College because of their commitment to philosophy. I figured I would learn to adjust at any college, but I saw Sherman as a place to think both the why and the how of chiropractic. Other than chiropractic care, I am passionate about my family and personal faith walk. I also enjoy chilling with friends and wasting time watching YouTube videos.
