SPARTANBURG, South Carolina -- Reginald Gold, DC, a distinguished international chiropractic lecturer from Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, has given Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic the largest single donation since the school's inception in 1973.

Dr. Gold explained his generous donation: "Everything I have, everything I hope to have, everything I am or ever hope to be, I owe to chiropractic."

Long associated with Sherman College, Dr. Gold served as Sherman's first academic dean; he also held the positions of vice president and dean of philosophy with the college.

Dr. Gold also spearheaded the founding of the ADIO Chiropractic College, which became the Pennsylvania College of Straight Chiropractic in 1978.

"I can't adequately express what Reggie means to Sherman," said Sherman President Thom Gelardi. "Reggie is one of the few people who lives the philosophy he espouses. This gift is just another example of his constant giving to Sherman and the chiropractic profession."

How does it feel to give $125,000? "The giving is actually painless," Dr. Gold asserted. "It is only making up your mind to do it that causes fear. Overcome that, and the rest is easy," he explained.

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education
Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
