01/27/2026 7 - 9 PM CT Neurology 264: Sleep - A Unique Opportunity for Chiropractors | Online CE Webinar

Sleep is more than recovery time. For chiropractors, it is a clinical window that may influence pain sensitivity, healing trajectories, autonomic tone, and day-to-day function. This online chiropractic continuing education webinar reframes sleep as a practical opportunity to enhance patient care using strategies most providers can implement immediately.

You will review current sleep patterns in the United States, core physiology of sleep stages, and common disorders that can affect musculoskeletal and neurologic function. The course then connects sleep-linked clinical findings to real-world practice: nighttime leg cramps, ankle instability, altered proprioception, and muscle hypertonus.

After this chiropractic CE course, you will be able to:

• Describe the stages of sleep and how sleep architecture relates to recovery, pain modulation, and performance.
• Screen for common sleep disorders and recognize clinical red flags needing co-management or referral.
• Identify biomechanical and neurologic contributors to nighttime leg cramps and “floppy ankle” patterns.
• Apply simple, patient-friendly interventions to support sleep quality and nighttime neuromuscular control.
• Explain the clinical rationale behind tone and sound frequency concepts as adjunctive relaxation tools in select cases.

Clinical Considerations & Cautions

• Screen for primary sleep disorders that warrant medical referral (e.g., suspected obstructive or central sleep apnea, parasomnias with safety risk).
• Frequency-based relaxation tools are discussed for education only; they are not presented as stand-alone treatments.
• Use clinical judgment and appropriate patient selection; consider medical clearance for patients with seizure disorders or sound-sensitivity conditions.
• Document sleep screening and counseling in the patient record for continuity of care and risk management.
