Adjusting & Manual Therapy 209 is a comprehensive, clinically focused exploration of chiropractic care for the lumbar spine and pelvis — the region behind the single most common reason a patient walks into a chiropractic office. Dr. Donald Ozello pairs lumbopelvic biomechanics with step-by-step technique demonstrations: precise chiropractic adjustments for the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints, targeted muscle therapies for the tissues that hold the segment fixed, and stretching methods that restore function and optimize nerve flow to the lumbar spine, pelvis, and lower extremities.
Low back pain arrives in every form — the acute lift, the chronic desk posture, the sacroiliac joint that has been "out" for years, the sciatic leg that started as a back complaint — and the doctor who can separate traumatic from non-traumatic drivers, find the actual fixation, and treat the soft tissue around it gets results the doctor who adjusts L5 every visit does not. This 2-hour online course is built for exactly that, with in-office protocols that 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. You are here: Adjusting & Manual Therapy 209.
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.
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 209
• Differentiate traumatic from non-traumatic conditions of the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints, and select the in-office chiropractic treatment strategy each one calls for.
• Execute chiropractic adjustment techniques for the lumbar spine and pelvis — patient position, contacts, line of drive, and stabilization for each — including sacroiliac joint corrections.
• Apply precise muscle work to enhance lumbar spine and pelvic function and address the myofascial drivers of recurrence.
• Integrate adjusting, muscle work, and effective stretching methods into a single treatment plan that optimizes musculoskeletal function and nerve flow to the lumbar spine, pelvis, and lower extremities.
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 210 Drop Table Technique, which delivers the same lumbar, sacral, and ilium corrections low-force for the patient who cannot tolerate a manual thrust, and 206 Hip, Thigh & Knee continues the chain below the pelvis; the rest of the Spine, Ribs & TMJ lane — 202, 207, and 208 — completes the axial skeleton.
