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.

Recent laws in New Jersey and California represent a disturbing trend that will negatively impact a practice’s ability to collect monies from patients, as well as expose them to significant penalties if the practice does not follow the mandatory guidelines to a T. Please be aware that a similar law may be coming to your state. The time to act is before the law is passed.
With estimates showing over 30 million Americans affected by peripheral neuropathy – and a significant portion underdiagnosed – it’s increasingly likely that chiropractors are already treating these patients. What’s missing is structured recognition, comprehensive management and targeted tools to slow progression, improve function and support systemic health.
Each year, ICD-10-CM is updated on Oct. 1. For 2026, there are 74,179 total codes, with 487 additions, 28 deletions and 38 revisions. Code changes are based on date of service, not the claim submission date. Services performed on/after Oct. 1 must use the new codes. While no changes affect the common spinal or extraspinal codes most frequently used by DCs, several updates may still affect your claims – particularly for comorbidities, referred pain, or trauma cases.
