Hi, I'm the author, Dr. Warren I. Hammer, DC,MS. The real reason for entering this arena is to announce to Amazon that the 2nd. edition of this text is now available. The new text is twice the size of the first and filled with the latest information about examining soft tissue and treating by soft tissue methods.

As an athletic trainer at a large high school in Pennsylvania, I found this book very helpful in every day treatment of various ailments my athletes complained of. Although the process can be complex, the soft tissue treatments are very helpful and this book I have found to be a very valuable asset.

Dr. Hammer has done a marvelous job in describing and picturing the soft tissue component of the subluxation complex. As a Chiropractor, this book has been invaluable to me AND the patients who have benefitted from the knowledge I have gained from Dr. Hammer. THANK YOU, DR. HAMMER!

Dr. Hammer is a great writer. He doesn't ignore the subluxation complex as in some texts supposenly related to chiropractic. Dr. Hammer shows how soft tissue injury is related to the subluxation. When I took the national boards of chiropractic, I used this book as one of my references for Part II section--Chiropractic Practice, and also for Part III. Little advice for taking the boards, get Souza's book, Differential Diagnosis for the Chiropractor. Also, Patrick Leonardi's study guides, National Board of Chiropractic Part II Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers, National Board of Chiropractic Part III Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations
These study guides have questions that were excellent because they were the kind encountered on the exams. Also souza's book was very helpful for chiropractic practice and Part III. Dr. Warren's book was also on the mark for Chiropractic Practice section of part II.
