Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common entrapment neuropathy you will see, and the most commonly assumed. A patient reports numb fingers and the diagnosis writes itself — which is exactly how a cervical contribution, a proximal entrapment or a double crush gets missed. The compression is real; the question is whether the tunnel is the only place it is happening.
Dr. Steve Yeomans, a board-certified chiropractic orthopedist, works CTS from the definition of the compression itself through history and provocative orthopedic testing to a management plan that uses both active and passive care — manual therapy, splinting, rehabilitative exercise and nutritional support for peripheral nerve health — documented against current clinical guidelines.
Choose Your Case Study Path — Three Lanes, One Curriculum
The catalog is organized as a curriculum, not a pile of hours — 23 courses and 42 CE hours covering every region head-to-foot across two series, plus specialist case files. Start in the lane that matches your patient mix; the full catalog lives on the Case Studies & Clinical Pearls category page.
1 · The Regional Series — First Pass (201–206)
A complete head-to-foot tour of case-based diagnosis — the foundation lane.
201: Headache Diagnosis & Clinical Pearls
202: The Cervical Spine
203: Upper Extremities
204: Thorax Conditions & Clinical Pearls
205: Lumbar Spine Diagnosis
206: Lower Extremity Conditions & Clinical Pearls
2 · The Regional Series — Second Pass (207–212)
The same regions revisited with new cases and deeper differentials — the lane that turns pattern recognition into judgment.
207: The Head II
208: The Cervical Spine II
209-A / 209-B: The Upper Extremities II, Parts I & II
210-A / 210-B: The Thorax II, Parts I & II
211: Lumbar Spine Conditions II
212: Lower Extremity Conditions II
3 · Specialist Case Files (213–221)
Board-credentialed faculty open their own files — condition-specific cases from orthopedic, sports, extremity, and nutrition practice. You are here: Case Studies & Clinical Pearls 218.
213: Headache Management & Diagnosis
214: From Anatomy to Diagnoses
215: Case Studies Related to the TMJ
216: Disc Herniation
217: Spondylolisthesis Treatment
218: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment
219: TMD
220: Soft Tissue Injuries
221: Headache Management & Treatment
New case files are added to these lanes as faculty release them.
What You'll Learn in Case Studies & Clinical Pearls 218
Define the compression before you treat it. Understand what median nerve compression at the wrist actually does to the peripheral nervous system, and use history and provocative orthopedic testing to confirm the tunnel is the site — rather than assuming it from the symptom picture.
Build the full treatment repertoire, active and passive. Work the range of options together — manual therapy, splinting, and rehabilitative exercise — so the plan matches the stage and severity of the case instead of defaulting to one modality.
Support the nerve, not just the joint. Apply specific nutritional interventions for peripheral nerve health and inflammation management, the layer most CTS plans leave out entirely.
Document to the guideline. Implement current best practices for diagnosing and treating carpal tunnel syndrome so the file is audit-ready and the clinical reasoning is visible to anyone who reviews it.
Your Case Studies & Clinical Pearls Faculty
Steve Yeomans, DC, FACO — instructor of this course — brings orthopedic board credentials to the structural and entrapment files in the lane: disc herniation, spondylolisthesis and carpal tunnel syndrome (216–218). A Fellow of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists and author of several authoritative texts on clinical outcomes and orthopedic assessment, he teaches the reasoning that makes a case defensible.
Heather Wright, DC, CCEP opens the extremity and craniofacial files — headache management and diagnosis, the anatomy-to-diagnosis bridge, and TMJ case studies (213–215) — as a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner.
Steve Yeomans, DC, FACO and the rest of the specialist faculty open the remaining condition-specific files across the lane.
Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN — board-certified in clinical nutrition — works the TMD and headache management files (219, 221) where structure, physiology, and nutrition intersect.
Dennis O'Hara, DC, DACBSP opens the soft tissue injury file (220) with a sports diplomate's tissue-healing timeline.

Where Case Study Hours Count — State Rules Worth Knowing
Case study coursework is clinical subject matter — assessment, diagnosis, and case management — which is exactly what several state boards ask for. In Iowa, these hours serve the 36-hour clinical case-management minimum (this category is case management, by name and by content); in Rhode Island, they address the 50-of-60 clinical requirement; and in Vermont — where practice-building coursework earns nothing — patient-care education like this counts fully under the clinical-focus rule.
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 Case Study Block
Most courses in the series run 2 hours at $40 (the four Series II split-courses, 209-A/B and 210-A/B, run 1 hour at $20 each), so the automatic discounts do the bundling for you: 6–9 hours in one order earns 10% off, and 10 or more earns 20% off The natural pairing for this course is the rest of Dr. Yeomans’ structural file set: 216 Disc Herniation and 217 Spondylolisthesis Treatment; 209-A The Upper Extremities II Part I and 209-B The Upper Extremities II Part II round out the upper extremity and nerve entrapment material.

Case Studies & Clinical Pearls 218 — Frequently Asked Questions
What does Case Studies & Clinical Pearls 218 cover?
This course works carpal tunnel syndrome as a chiropractic case file, from the definition of median nerve compression through history and provocative testing to multi-modal management and discharge. Also known as CTS treatment, median nerve entrapment management, or carpal tunnel assessment training, it covers provocative orthopedic testing, manual therapy, splinting and rehabilitative exercise, nutritional support for peripheral nerve health, and guideline-based documentation.
How many CE hours is this course, and what does it cost?
Case Studies & Clinical Pearls 218 is a 2-hour, PACE-approved online course priced at $40 — the standard $20 per CE credit hour across the CCEDseminars catalog. It is recorded, self-paced, and includes video and handouts.
My patient’s hand goes numb at night — is it always carpal tunnel?
Not always, and that is the distinction this course is built around. You will learn the history and provocative orthopedic testing that confirm median nerve compression at the wrist rather than assuming it, so a proximal or cervical contribution is identified instead of being treated as a failed carpal tunnel case.
