About Our Doctors
Warren Hammer, DC, MS (in practice since 1960) and Deborah Hammer DC (in practice since 1987) have devoted themselves to the finest care possible for their patients. They represent the new age of chiropractic care that while realizing the importance of joint manipulation, recognizes the relationship of muscles and the fascial system to our overall structure. Dr. W. Hammer is a certified instructor in Fascial Manipulation© (FM) and was responsible for bringing this method to the U.S.. His daughter Deborah is also very well versed in the method. FM has been taught in over 50 countries and is growing exponentially along with fascial research.

What to Expect
During the first visit we determine whether a patient will benefit from our care. During this visit we naturally want to know where the pain is located, but extremely important following questions have to do with whether their pain originates from the painful area or whether their pain is compensating for past injuries, surgeries or overuse. It has been found that most chronic pain sites are compensations. For example, a low back or hip pain can be due to an old ankle or knee injury or a persistent shoulder pain could be due to a previous neck, elbow or wrist problem. The sensory connective fascial system allows us to make these determinations. Besides hands-on fascial manipulation, we utilize many other soft tissue techniques and instrumentation to solve problems.
We are proud of the fact that our reputation is based on an old adage “Find it, fix it and leave it alone.” We have proven over the years that discharging a patient as soon as possible is responsible for our many patient referrals.

Dr. Hammer uses Fascial Manipulation® to treat lower back pain
Patient had a 10 year history of left low back and pelvic pain. Using FM examination, it was deduced that a previous knee painful extension injury about 30 years ago may have altered the sensory receptors in the deep fascia around his left knee that eventually resulted in chronic low back and buttock pain on the left side. By only treating the original knee injury, painful functional testing of the low back greatly improved.
