Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Vendor support of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (FCP) seems to be on a perpetual upswing these days, with Drucker Labs, Future Health Software and ChiroHealthUSA the latest to pledge financial support to the foundation's ongoing positive press campaign. Drucker Labs recently pledged $12,000 to the FCP campaign, Future Health pledged $10,000 and ChiroHealthUSA pledged $6,000.

It was only last month (March 12 issue) that we reported on the financial commitments made by four other vendors: Erchonia Medical, ScripHessco, Chiro One Wellness Centers, and Tempur-Pedic International, who pledged a total of $76,000 to the foundation.

Remembering Dr. Warren Hammer - A Pioneer in Soft-Tissue Care

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.

Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?
Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?

More than 100 doctors of chiropractic participated in relief efforts following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that left 2,753 dead and far more than the New York City skyline forever altered. Dr. Richard Gorgo Jr. was one of those DCs who selflessly donated his time, skill and compassion during that surreal, yet all-too-real moment in history. This is his remarkable story, originally published on the 10-year anniversary in 2011. Where were you when the world stopped turning? For Dr. Gorgo, the answer is Ground Zero.
