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.

Three Health Professions, One Trade Show
This year, the American Chiropractic Conference, the American Massage Conference and the American Acupuncture Conference will take place concurrently. Hosting the historic event is the Town and Country Resort & Conference Center in San Diego. More than 100 hours of continuing education are available at the three-day event (April 20-22), featuring leading educators from all three professions – including Dr. Jeffrey Tucker, Dr. J. Todd Knudsen, Sam Collins, Whitney Lowe, David Kent and others.
ONE Concept is the brains behind the integrated conference. According to Scott Darnell, ONE Concept co-founder, "Each of these professions supports the health and wellness of their clients in very specific and distinct ways.We hope to take that support a step further by providing an environment which allows each profession an opportunity to understand each other and work together to support the physical health of their clients, and the financial health of their respective practices."
