Big time wrestlers need chiropractic, too: Sherman College experts to provide care

September 19, 2016—While a knife-edge chop and a “Woooooooo!” from Ric Flair might send some folks running in the opposite direction, two faculty members from Sherman College are putting themselves right in the middle of the action on September 24 when Big Time Wrestling comes to Spartanburg.

South Carolina’s chiropractic college is sending  Joseph Donofrio and Rick Brescia, two licensed doctors of chiropractic and experienced faculty members, to Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium to provide chiropractic care for the show members.

Big Time Wrestling features The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, The Hardy Boyz, Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, Cody Rhodes, Sabu, The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, Magnum T.A., The Nasty Boys, Gangrel, Trevor Lee, BTW Champion Flex Armstrong, and much more. Belltime is at 8 p.m. on Saturday, September 24, with photos and autographs preceding the event from 6-8 p.m.

The chiropractic profession is all about serving others (wrestlers and everyone else!) to improve health. Chiropractors take a natural, preventative approach to health care, without the invasive use of drugs or surgery, helping patients achieve good health and function at their optimum capacity.

Doctors of Chiropractic pay particular attention to the spine, particularly locating misalignments in the vertebrae of the spine that can disrupt proper nerve function and lead to decreased performance and health. Chiropractors remove these interferences by gently adjusting the spine. By restoring proper nerve flow, chiropractors help people enjoy more of their full potential for health and optimal performance.

Sherman College’s Doctor of Chiropractic program, established in 1973, is unique in its approach to health care and known globally for producing doctors who are highly skilled in their delivery of chiropractic care. In addition, the college’s on-campus Chiropractic Health Center (where senior students intern under the close supervision of licensed doctors of chiropractic) provides quality and affordable chiropractic care to the local community with nearly 30,000 visits each year.

Sherman College, the only chiropractic college in the Carolinas and one of just 18 in the nation, is a leader in chiropractic education. Fast Company, Forbes, Career Cast and other organizations repeatedly name chiropractic as a top job. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, chiropractic employment opportunities are growing much faster than average for all occupations, and employment of chiropractors is expected to increase by 17 percent this decade, thanks to growing interest in natural and non-invasive approaches to health care.
