Adjusting & Manual Therapy 205 is a clinical deep dive into the assessment and correction of the elbow, wrist, and hand — the working end of the upper kinetic chain, where repetitive strain injuries and entrapment neuropathies send patients to your office long before they think of them as chiropractic problems. Dr. Donald Ozello pairs upper-extremity biomechanics with step-by-step technique demonstrations: precision adjusting for the elbow, distal radioulnar, carpal, and metacarpal joints, targeted muscle work for the forearm extensors and flexors, and passive stretching protocols built to optimize nerve flow and hold the correction.
Lateral epicondylitis and carpal tunnel syndrome are two of the most common presentations in any practice that sees people who type, lift, grip, or throw — and both respond to a doctor who can find the joint restriction, treat the soft tissue around it, and send the patient home with a plan. This 2-hour online course is built for exactly that: in-office protocols you can apply the next morning. Every completion generates an instant certificate for your renewal file.
Choose Your Adjusting & Manual Therapy CE Path — Three Lanes, One Curriculum
The catalog is organized as a curriculum, not a pile of hours — eleven 2-hour courses covering the whole kinetic chain from TMJ to toe. Start in the lane that matches your patient mix; the full catalog lives on the Adjusting & Manual Therapy category page.
1 · Spine, Ribs & TMJ
The axial skeleton and its cage — cervical through pelvis, the costals, and the table-assisted delivery that serves all of them.
202: Adjusting the Costals
207: Thoracic Spine & Rib Cage
208: Cervical Spine & TMJ
209: Lumbar & Pelvic Techniques
210: Drop Table Technique
2 · Extremities
Shoulder to hand and hip to foot — the appendicular territory most catalogs leave thin. You are here: Adjusting & Manual Therapy 205.
203: Shoulder Treatment Techniques
204: Lower Extremity Techniques
205: Upper Extremity Techniques
206: Hip, Thigh & Knee
3 · Soft Tissue & Assisted Methods
The work around the adjustment — myofascial reasoning and partner-assisted stretching that make joint corrections last.
201: Myofascial Dysfunction
211: Partner Assisted Stretching
New technique courses are added to these lanes as faculty release them.
What You'll Learn in Adjusting & Manual Therapy 205
• Identify biomechanical dysfunctions in the upper kinetic chain — including the distal radioulnar and carpal joints — and differentiate joint restriction from myofascial tension in the forearm extensors and flexors.
• Execute specific lines of drive for elbow and wrist corrections, and precision adjusting for the carpals and metacarpals, to restore proper skeletal motion and resolve functional impingement.
• Implement muscle work and passive stretching protocols designed to optimize nerve flow and support long-term functional recovery.
• Develop comprehensive treatment plans for common conditions such as lateral epicondylitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Your Adjusting & Manual Therapy Faculty
Donald Ozello, DC, CCN, CCSM — instructor of this course — leads nine of the eleven courses in the series (203–211), shoulder through foot, spine, drop table, and partner-assisted stretching. A 1995 graduate of the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, Navy veteran, and founder of Championship Chiropractic, Dr. Ozello is certified in sports medicine and clinical nutrition and serves as faculty for CCEDseminars and Texas Chiropractic College. He also authors the CCEDseminars Athletic Injuries series, and his clinical philosophy — injury prevention, functional recovery, and long-term performance from elite athletes to aging adults — runs through every technique module he teaches.
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN teaches costal adjusting (202) with a chiropractic neurologist's perspective — rib mechanics, respiratory linkage, and the neurological reasoning behind thoracic cage work. A Fellow of the International Academy of Chiropractic Neurology, Dr. Hall also leads the CCEDseminars Neurology series.
Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN opens the series with myofascial dysfunction (201), framing soft-tissue evaluation within whole-patient physiology from his board certification in clinical nutrition.

Where Adjusting & Manual Therapy Hours Count — State Rules Worth Knowing
Technique is core clinical subject matter, which is exactly what several state boards ask for. In Iowa, technique hours feed the 36-hour clinical case-management minimum; in Rhode Island, they serve the 50-of-60 clinical requirement; in Vermont — where practice-management and philosophy coursework earns no credit at all — technique sits squarely inside the clinical-focus rule; and in Montana, where philosophy is capped at 2 of 12 hours, technique fills the clinical balance cleanly.
Online-format allowances still vary by state — some accept every hour online, others cap distance learning or require in-person blocks. Check your state's guide in the full state directory before building your renewal plan.
Build Your Technique Block
Every course in the series is 2 hours at $40, so the automatic discounts do the bundling for you: any three courses (6 hours) earns 10% off, and five or more (10+ hours) in a single order earns 20% off — the full 22-hour series lands at roughly $352 instead of $440, with no promo codes. The natural pairing for this course is the rest of the Extremities lane: 203 Shoulder Treatment Techniques completes the upper kinetic chain, and 204 and 206 cover hip to foot.

Adjusting & Manual Therapy 205 — Frequently Asked Questions
What does Adjusting & Manual Therapy 205 cover?
The elbow, wrist, and hand: upper-kinetic-chain assessment including the distal radioulnar and carpal joints, precision adjusting with specific lines of drive for elbow and wrist corrections, carpal and metacarpal adjusting for functional impingement, and muscle work and passive stretching for the forearm extensors and flexors. Also known as upper extremity adjusting, elbow and wrist manipulation, extremity adjusting technique, carpal mobilization, and hand and wrist manual therapy for chiropractors.
How many CE hours is Adjusting & Manual Therapy 205, and what is the format?
2 CE hours, fully online and self-paced — course video with step-by-step technique demonstrations and clinical commentary by Dr. Ozello, followed by an assessment. Your certificate is available in your account immediately upon completion, and enrollment includes one year of access.
Does this course address carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow?
Yes. Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) and carpal tunnel syndrome are the two named clinical-strategy targets: the course teaches the joint corrections, soft-tissue work, and passive stretching that go into a comprehensive conservative treatment plan for each, alongside the assessment that tells you when a presentation is a joint problem, a myofascial problem, or an entrapment.
