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.

Presently there is no consensus on the best treatment for Achilles tendon rupture; and its management is still controversial. The treatment options are conservative treatment and surgical repair. With either treatment, be it conservative or surgical, Achilles tendon tears necessitate prolonged recovery and rehabilitative management.
