Dr. Peter Martin, president of Palmer College of Chiropractic West, is on sabbatical effective July 1, 2000. Palmer Chanellor Michael Crawford said he would serve as interim president until a new president is appointed.
Mr. Crawford said Dr. Martin will continue to serve Palmer as a consultant and will finish out his term as president of the Council on Chiropractic Education.
"It should be obvious to all at Palmer West and throughout the chiropractic profession, that Dr. Martin has been instrumental in the progress made by this fine institution," said Mr. Crawford. "The relocation to the Tasman site, the enrollment gains that have assisted in providing better economic stability, and the excelling caliber of the education delivered at Palmer West have all occurred on Dr. Martin's watch. He deserves the appreciation of the entire Palmer Chiropractic community for his contribution to those and other Palmer West successes."
An all-school assembly will be held to honor Dr. Martin.
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.
