Dr. R. James Gregg from Garden City, Michigan, was named the ICA "Chiropractor of the Year" for 1995 at the ICA's annual meeting Sept. 13 in Davenport, Iowa, held this year in conjunction with the Chiropractic Centennial Celebration.
A graduate of Logan College of Chiropractic, Dr. Gregg was elected ICA president in 1991, and is now serving his last term. For many years a member of the Michigan Chiropractic Board of Examiners, Dr. Gregg is the chief of the dept. of chiropractic at New Center Hospital in Michigan, and is on the hospital's executive committee.
The ICA credits Dr. Gregg with helping the organization to "new heights of professionalism and interprofessional cooperation." Dr. Gregg is regarded as a dynamic speaker of chiropractic philosophy, practice management, and hospital privileges.
In an emotional speech, Dr. Gregg said he was deeply moved by the honor, especially during this historic year for chiropractic. He vowed to continue to serve the association and profession and to seek greater recognition for chiropractic.
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.
