About
Us
Developing
spinal biomechanics, levers and lever
system force analysis in the tradition
of Archimedes, Borelli and Leonardo
da Vinci required a comprehensive
understanding of spinal anatomy and
the laws of physics. The educational
material presented here had to represent
the highest in academic accuracy and
integrity.
Lever
system analysis requires proper
set up. Spinal anatomy has
to be exact. John Scherger,
D.C., clinic and academic director,
drew upon his chiropractic education,
input from many professionals and
personal experience having taken
and analyzed over 40,000 spinal
X-rays to complete the spinal biomechanical
study courses. See our testimonial
section for a sample of some of
the professionals that have contributed
to our academic work.
The
study of physics is part of the
education requirements to be a chiropractor.
Understanding physics relative to
the spine in human training and
treatment is what a chiropractor
deals with daily. We have
employed physics consultants, our
facility has a physics lab, spinal
specimens and a library devoted
to the study of spinal biomechanics.
Dr.
Scherger graduated from Western
States Chiropractic College in 1977.
His interest in training dates back
to the late 1960's where he worked
as a fitness instructor for the
old European Health Clubs.
He also credits his ability to look
at the mechanics of how things are
built and work to his experience
in the construction industry in
nuclear plants and oil refineries
rigging loads with cranes.
Dr.
Scherger is a consultant for the
State of Washington Industrial Insurance
Commission. He has the only
method patent in the world for training
the spine for the adaptation of
the S-shape posture. It is
U.S. Patent Number 4686968.
It was accepted for patenting by
the European common market, Japan,
Canada and Australia. The
spinal training and treatment methods
have been used by professional sports
teams and the U.S. Olympic Sports
Medicine and Research Centers.
Our
training courses are increasingly
being accepted as qualified teaching
for professional organizations.
The list currently includes the
National Strength and Conditioning
Association, the National Athletic
Trainers Association, the American
Council on Exercise, chiropractic
organizations and state educational
programs for coaches for continuing
education.
