EDITOR'S MEMO
Welcome to our annual Technique Issue, arriving each December like a trusted colleague stepping into your clinic. Within these pages, the profession’s innovators trade ideas that stretch skill, spark curiosity, and keep chiropractic moving forward. Open the pages and see what’s next.
Dive in, discover, and choose the concepts that will ignite your 2026 vision. This month, we span over a century of chiropractic innovation: visceral-somatic reflexes, animal chiropractic, biomechanical effects of fascial tension, and rapid stress tests to identify sympatheticor parasympathetic-dominant patients.
Chiropractic science is alive, evolving, and essential. Your AI may offer quick answers, but let this issue remind you to balance technology with human insight. Tools can assist; they must never replace discernment.
This year marks the 25th anniversary for instrument adjusting company Neuromechanical Innovations, so flip to page 26 to read about Dr. Chris Colloca’s journey from author to instrument innovator, DC to PhD— spine expert to wine expert. It’s been an interesting ride, as he looks to bring Neuromechanical Innovations to the next step forward using AI.
As always, read this issue from the front to back, cover to cover. And if you’re not yet receiving The American Chiropractor in your mailbox each month, visit www.tac-web.com to subscribe.

In service to the profession,
All the best,
