Popular longevity media has sold spinal manipulation as everything from a metabolic intervention to an anti-aging procedure. CLHS 202 pulls those claims back to the peer-reviewed evidence: the inflammation data (IL-6, TNF-alpha, CRP, oxidative stress), the HRV and autonomic data, the falls-prevention and compression-of-morbidity data, and a clear map of where the evidence stops.
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN, builds a defensible vocabulary for positioning manipulation inside a longevity care plan — what you can say about systemic effects, what you cannot say about biological-age markers, and how to document it so it survives scrutiny. This is the chiropractic-procedural anchor of the CLHS series.
Where This Course Fits — The Five CLHS Pillars
You are here: CLHS 202 — Pillar 1, Neuromechanical Integrity. CLHS 201 is the series introduction; 202 is the first pillar course and the one that addresses manipulation itself as a longevity-relevant intervention.
1. Neuromechanical Integrity
Spinal and joint mechanics, proprioception, balance and fall risk, and the evidence on manipulation across the lifespan.
2. Metabolic Efficiency
Muscle as a metabolic organ, nutrition for healthy aging, medication-induced nutrient depletion, and the lab markers worth watching.
3. Functional Movement
Strength, power and mobility programs that keep patients capable.
4. Sleep Hygiene
Sleep as a longevity lever: assessment, disruptors, and non-pharmacologic approaches within chiropractic scope.
5. Stress Adaptation
Autonomic resilience, the biology of stress, and the tools for measuring a patient's adaptive capacity.

What You'll Learn
- Inflammation evidence: Summarize the peer-reviewed evidence on spinal manipulation's measurable effects on systemic inflammation markers (IL-6, TNF-alpha, CRP, oxidative stress).
- Autonomic & HRV: Interpret the autonomic and heart-rate-variability literature linking manipulation to cardiovascular healthspan and stress resilience.
- Mobility & falls prevention: Apply the falls-prevention and compression-of-morbidity evidence to longevity-care positioning of preserved spinal motion.
- Defensible claims: Communicate clinical confidence about manipulation's longevity-relevant effects without overclaiming biological-age outcomes the data does not support.
Your Faculty
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN — Fellow of the International Academy of Chiropractic Neurology and CCEDseminars senior faculty in chiropractic neurology, evidence-based practice and defensible clinical workflows. His courses prioritize peer-reviewed evidence, regulatory defensibility and clinical applicability; he teaches the manipulation, neurology and sleep courses in the CLHS series.

Credit, Reporting & State Rules
CLHS 202 is a 2-hour on-demand course, PACE-recognized and co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College — the approval pathway most boards accept for online chiropractic CE. Its approval list renders at the bottom of this page, straight from the course record; that list is the one to trust.
Most boards cap the share of a renewal that can be earned online, and most count evidence-based manipulation coursework under a general or clinical category — check how your board counts it before relying on CLHS hours for a specific requirement.
Texas: licensees can verify provider status through the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners. For every other state and province, start at the CE guidelines directory.
Build Your CLHS Block
$40 for 2 CE hours — $20 per hour. Pair it with CLHS 201 for a 4-hour longevity block, or stack the pillar courses as they release.
Multi-course discounts apply automatically in the cart — 10% at 6–9 hours, 20% at 10 or more, no promo code. Hours from any CCEDseminars on-demand category count toward the same tiers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does CLHS 202 cover?
A two-hour, evidence-anchored review of what the peer-reviewed data says about spinal manipulation and longevity: measurable effects on systemic inflammation markers (IL-6, TNF-alpha, CRP, oxidative stress), the autonomic and heart-rate-variability literature, the falls-prevention and compression-of-morbidity evidence for preserved spinal motion, and the honest evidence gap on biological-age markers. Also known as spinal manipulation longevity CE, chiropractic adjustment healthspan CE or evidence-based longevity chiropractic CE.
Who teaches it, and is it for chiropractors?
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN, Fellow of the International Academy of Chiropractic Neurology and CCEDseminars senior faculty. The course is written for practicing chiropractors: it assumes a working clinical baseline, requires no prior longevity-specialty training, and stays inside chiropractic scope — manipulation, documentation, informed consent and patient communication. It is PACE-recognized and co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College.
Can my adjustments really help a patient age better?
Partly, and the course is precise about which part. The peer-reviewed data supports measurable post-manipulation shifts in inflammation markers and heart rate variability, and preserved spinal motion is tied to falls prevention and the compression of morbidity — the years lived without disability. What the data does not support is any claim about epigenetic clocks, telomere length or biological-age reversal. CLHS 202 gives you the language to say the first part with confidence and leave the second part alone.
How is the course delivered, and when do I get my certificate?
Recorded video you can watch on any device, with one year of access from purchase. Pass the short post-test and your certificate is available immediately. For states served by CE Broker, completion is reported automatically.
Do I need CLHS 201 before this course?
No. CLHS 202 stands on its own. CLHS 201 is the series introduction — the five-pillar map and the biology of accelerated aging — and makes a natural companion if you are building a longevity block. The category page lists what is available now; new courses are added monthly as each live webinar is converted.
State approval and licensing reminder. Approval status for this course is listed below. Online-hour caps, subject classification and scope rules vary by board; confirm your own state's rules before relying on this course for a specific requirement.
