Adjusting & Manual Therapy 206 focuses on the critical kinetic chain of the lower body — the hip and knee complexes that carry every step, absorb every landing, and quietly decide whether a lumbar spine stays stable or keeps compensating. Dr. Donald Ozello pairs hip, thigh, and knee biomechanics with step-by-step technique demonstrations: precision extremity corrections for the hip joint, proximal tibiofibular joint, and patella, plus targeted muscle work and passive stretching for the psoas, iliotibial band, and quadriceps that keep those corrections holding.
Gait dysfunction, hip impingement, and chronic knee instability rarely arrive labeled as such — they arrive as low back pain that will not resolve, a runner who cannot get past mile three, or an aging patient whose stairs have become a project. This 2-hour online course is built for the doctor who wants to trace the driver from SI joint influence down to patellofemoral tracking and treat it, with protocols that apply the next morning to athletes and aging adults alike. 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 206.
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 206
• Identify the biomechanical drivers of lower extremity dysfunction across the kinetic chain — from SI joint influence through hip mechanics to patellofemoral tracking.
• Execute specific chiropractic extremity corrections for the hip joint, the proximal tibiofibular joint, and the patella, including hip distraction techniques and knee protocols for restricted joint play.
• Apply advanced muscle work and passive stretching for the psoas, iliotibial band, and quadriceps — addressing impingement, labral considerations, and the myofascial restrictions that drive recurrence.
• Develop treatment protocols that improve mobility, optimize nerve flow, and restore proper skeletal motion in athletes and aging adults.
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: 204 Lower Extremity Techniques completes the lower kinetic chain at the ankle and foot, and 203 and 205 cover shoulder to hand.

Adjusting & Manual Therapy 206 — Frequently Asked Questions
What does Adjusting & Manual Therapy 206 cover?
The hip, thigh, and knee: kinetic-chain assessment from SI joint influence to patellofemoral tracking, precision adjusting for the hip joint, proximal tibiofibular joint, and patella, hip distraction and knee joint-play protocols, and muscle work with passive stretching for the psoas, iliotibial band, and quadriceps. Also known as hip and knee adjusting, lower extremity adjusting, hip mobilization, patellar and tibiofibular manipulation, and hip and knee manual therapy for chiropractors.
How many CE hours is Adjusting & Manual Therapy 206, and what is the format?
2 CE hours, fully online and self-paced — high-definition video modules with step-by-step technique demonstrations, 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 hip impingement and knee instability?
Yes. Hip impingement (with its labral considerations), gait dysfunction, and chronic knee instability are the three named clinical targets: the course teaches the joint corrections, the soft-tissue work on the psoas, IT band, and quadriceps, and the passive stretching that go into a conservative treatment plan for each, alongside the assessment that tells you whether the driver sits at the SI joint, the hip, or the knee.
Is this course accepted for my state's chiropractic license renewal?
Adjusting & Manual Therapy 206 is a PACE Provider #34015544 program co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College and is accepted in most U.S. states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, six Canadian provinces, and more than 50 international jurisdictions. The complete approval list appears at the bottom of this page, and your state's online-hour rules are summarized in its CE guidelines page.
