At its recent convention held in Atlantic City, the New Jersey Chiropractic Society (NJCS) had its own celebration of the 100th anniversary of chiropractic. During the festivities, the NJCS honored Eugene P. Cianciulli, DC, as "Doctor of the Year."
Dr. Cianciulli, a native of Elizabeth, New Jersey, has been in active practice for 34 years. He is a founding member of the NJCS, and serves on its board of directors as the insurance chairman for New Jersey. Dr. Cianciulli is joined in practice by his two children, Drs. Lisa and Glen Cianciulli.
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.

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.
