Journal of Sports Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Discontinued

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The ACA Council on Sports Injuries and Physical Fitness recently announced that it will discontinue publication of its peer-reviewed journal, the Journal of Sports Chiropractic and Rehabilitation (JSCR).

"It is terribly unfortunate that we must postpone indefinitely the publication of the JSCR," lamented Tim Ray,DC,DACBSP, president of the ACA Sports Council. "This is the only journal dedicated to the specialties of sports chiropractic and rehabilitation, but our financial situation prohibits continuing the publication for the time being."

Dr. Ray commended the JSCR editors, Drs. Bart Green and Claire Johnson, for their hard work to improve the quality and credibility of the journal.

The council hopes to resolve the publication's financial situation within a year and investigate the possibility of resuming publication.

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education
Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
