This podcast explores the 2026 proceedings from the 21st International Research and Philosophy Symposium at Sherman College of Chiropractic, highlighting research rooted in vertebral subluxation, innate intelligence, and chiropractic philosophy. The discussion connects historical warnings about chiropractic’s identity crisis with modern studies using wearable biometrics, cervical proprioception testing, functional leg length analysis, and case reports involving women’s health, pediatric neurodevelopment, birth outcomes, and animal chiropractic. The episode emphasizes Sherman College’s role in preserving principled chiropractic scholarship and calls attention to the importance of supporting research that keeps chiropractic distinct, vitalistic, and focused on restoring the body’s adaptive capacity.
