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.
#ChiropracticCares to the Rescue
With millions of Americans reeling following a string of destructive and deadly tornadoes in mid-December 2021 that cut across six Southeast and Midwest states (Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, and Tennessee), leaving devastation and despair in their wake, Foot Levelers immediately launched #ChiropracticCares, a matching-donation campaign to aid in relief and recovery efforts.
The company pledged to match all donations made through Foot Levelers up to $250,000, with 100 percent of tax-deductible donations going directly to the American Red Cross. Donations were accepted through Dec. 31, 2021 via phone or mail.
Kent Greenawalt, Foot Levelers chairman and CEO, offered his heartfelt thanks to members of the chiropractic profession who pledged their support during this time of need:
"When people are suffering, chiropractors are quick to respond with healing and compassion," he said. "We're grateful to everyone who supported our Matching Funds Campaign for Storm Relief last month. Their generosity has provided crucial assistance to the many people rebuilding their lives after this tragedy. Once again, our colleagues helped us show the world how much chiropractors care."
