The Palmetto State Chiropractic Association brought about 70 in-person and online attendees to its 2026 Fall Conference Sept. 19-20 at Sherman College of Chiropractic in Spartanburg, S.C. The event focused on continuing education, networking and generational mentorship, while PSCA also outlined a holiday Topgolf gathering and a February Jones Family Philosophy Forum.

Why it matters: - The Fall Conference gave South Carolina chiropractors a place to earn continuing education credits and build professional ties in person. - PSCA framed the event as a way to connect students, recent graduates and veteran doctors across generations. - The association is using upcoming events to keep members engaged between conferences and strengthen its statewide chiropractic network.
