Blessed are the works of thy Hands, O Doctor of Chiropractic!
Blessed are the hands that touch life in the Eternal Now.
Blessed are the hands that release the healing powers of Life unto Itself.
Blessed are the hands that banish pain.
Blessed are the hands that point the way to health.
Blessed are the hands that gesture with the wonder of Life.
Blessed are the hands that Give for the sake of Giving.
Blessed are the hands that Love for the sake of Loving.
Blessed are the hands that lift to heaven in thanks for Many Blessings.
Blessed are the hands that unfold with a Lasting Purpose.
Blessed are the hands that reach out and have been received.
Blessed are the hands that have closed in righteous anger. Blessed are the hands that are aching and scarred in doing just works.
Blessed are the hands now old and knotty from helping others.
Blessed are the hands that pray for the good of many.
Blessed now are the works of thy Hands, O Doctor of Chiropractic!
Dedicated to the unity of all doctors of this country.

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.
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.
