For chiropractors practicing today, Dr. Warren Hammer’s legacy is particularly visible in several areas that have become familiar components of modern musculoskeletal care: his early work with the Graston Technique and instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization; his extensive writing and teaching on functional soft-tissue examination and treatment; his role in bringing fascial manipulation to U.S. clinicians; and his decades spent educating chiropractors and other health professionals.

Blending Music and Chiropractic
Sherman College student and musician/songwriter Bob Meliodon has produced an album "Some Cracks in Time."
The album includes such songs as "The Fellow Within" and "Subluxated State (The Second Law)." Bob wrote, performed, arranged and produced all of the songs on the album and orchestrated them with guitar, bass, and keyboard. Fellow Sherman College student Marc DeFilippo provided the percussion. They call themselves Bob Meliodon and the Chiropractors.
Bob's first album, which he also wrote, sang and produced, was called "Annapolis," in honor of the old naval town which is home to the U.S. Naval Academy. One of the songs on the album is appropriately titled "Academy."
