Dr. Adam Del Torto, a 1984 graduate of NYCC, is the founder and developer of a specialized "balloon assisted" cranial adjusting technique called Cranial Facial Release (CFR), which often works on last-resort patients who have not responded to other forms of conventional treatment. He has lectured at multiple chiropractic forums in both the U.S. and abroad, and his unique approach to cranial adjusting has generated interest and enthusiasm throughout the profession. He is also the creator of a "CHIROPRACTIC ROCKS" – an annual convention designed to "Shape the Future of Chiropractic and Create the Next Generation of Chiropractic Legends."
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.

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.
