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.
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.
