An evidence-anchored evaluation of modern regenerative medicine and its application to non-responsive musculoskeletal conditions. CLHS 205 strips away the commercial marketing hype to examine the true clinical data behind orthobiologics: the regulatory and biological difference between autologous and allogeneic therapies, a defensible differential-diagnosis protocol for identifying true structural candidates, and the collaborative chiropractic–medical workflow.
Dennis O'Hara, DC, DACBSP, built this course for the chiropractor who is asked about “stem cells” every week. It is not a procedures course; it is the evidence, the screening criteria and the informed-consent language you need to advise patients well, refer the right ones, and integrate chiropractic mechanical stabilization with medical regenerative care when it is indicated.
Where This Course Fits — The Five CLHS Pillars
You are here: CLHS 205 — Pillar 1, Neuromechanical Integrity. CLHS 202 covers what manipulation itself does for longevity; 205 covers how to evaluate the regenerative options patients bring through the door.
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
- Autologous vs. allogeneic: Differentiate between FDA-compliant, autologous orthobiologics (PRP, BMAC) and unapproved allogeneic alternatives frequently marketed for chronic pain management.
- Evidence and indications: Analyze current peer-reviewed evidence and consensus guidelines to determine the appropriate clinical indications for regenerative medicine in axial spine and peripheral joint pathology.
- Differential diagnosis: Implement a robust differential diagnosis framework to accurately screen out poor candidates and identify patients who meet the strict criteria for orthobiologic intervention.
- Collaborative care plan: Formulate a structured, multi-disciplinary care plan that seamlessly integrates chiropractic mechanical stabilization with medical regenerative therapies to optimize long-term patient recovery.

Credit, Reporting & State Rules
CLHS 205 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 clinical coursework like this 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 202 (Spinal Manipulation & Longevity) for a 4-hour neuromechanical block, or stack the pillar courses as they come online.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does CLHS 205 cover?
A two-hour, evidence-anchored evaluation of regenerative medicine for chiropractors: the biology and regulation of orthobiologics, the difference between FDA-compliant autologous therapies (PRP, BMAC) and unapproved allogeneic products, what the peer-reviewed evidence and consensus guidelines support for axial spine and peripheral joint pathology, a differential-diagnosis framework for screening candidates, and how to build a collaborative care plan with regenerative providers. Also known as orthobiologics CE, PRP and BMAC CE, or regenerative medicine for chiropractors.
Who teaches it, and is it for chiropractors?
Dennis O'Hara, DC, DACBSP, Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians and CCEDseminars sports-medicine faculty. The course is written for practicing chiropractors and stays inside chiropractic scope: evaluation, screening, patient counseling, referral and co-management. It is PACE-recognized and co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College.
My patient asks about stem cell injections for their knee — what do I tell them?
Start by sorting what they were offered. Autologous orthobiologics such as PRP and BMAC are FDA-compliant and have a real, if limited, evidence base for specific indications; many of the “stem cell” products marketed for chronic pain are unapproved allogeneic alternatives with little behind them. The course gives you the evidence to explain the difference, the red flags, imaging criteria and functional benchmarks that separate a true structural candidate from a conservative or surgical case, and informed-consent language that replaces marketing with facts — so your advice is defensible whether the answer is refer, co-manage, or keep treating conservatively.
Is this course about performing regenerative procedures?
No. This course is about evaluating regenerative medicine from an evidence-based perspective — understanding the biology, distinguishing FDA-compliant from unapproved therapies, screening patients, and building collaborative workflows with regenerative-medicine providers. It is designed for the chiropractic scope of practice.
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.
