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.
Texas Chiropractic College Partners With Pennsylvania University
Texas Chiropractic College (TCC) and West Chester University of Pennsylvania (WCU) have entered into an articulation agreement that goes into effect immediately. This partnership serves to facilitate the admission and academic transfer of qualified WCU students in the exercise science Bachelor of Science program to the TCC Doctor of Chiropractic program (DCP).
West Chester University of Pennsylvania is the second largest of the 14 public institutions in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and the fourth-largest university in the Philadelphia area.
