A fall is a neurological event before it is an orthopedic one. Geriatrics 206 starts where balance actually comes from — the cerebellum, the vestibular system and the proprioceptive pathways — and how each of the three changes in an ageing patient, so that a coordination deficit can be located rather than merely noted.
From that anatomy the course builds the clinical half: the objective markers that identify coordination loss and balance instability before a fall reveals them, and the neuro-rehabilitative exercise protocols that address the specific system at fault. The endpoint is independence, and the measure is fall risk reduced.
Choose Your Geriatrics Path — Three Lanes, One Curriculum
The Geriatrics series runs from the biology of aging outward to the structures it acts on: what changes in an ageing body, how degeneration presents region by region, and how balance, posture and cognition are assessed and rehabilitated. Seven courses, two hours each.
1 · Aging and Bone Health (201, 205)
Why the body ages the way it does, and what happens to the skeleton that carries it — the biology underneath every other file in the category.
205: Introduction to Aging & Longevity
201: Osteoporosis Management
2 · Osteoarthritis by Region (202–204)
Degenerative joint disease worked region by region — spine, lower extremity, upper extremity — with the diagnostic, in-office and rehabilitative decisions that differ at each.
202: Spinal Osteoarthritis Management
203: Lower Extremity Osteoarthritis
204: Upper Extremity Osteoarthritis
3 · Neurology, Balance and Cognition (206–207)
The neurological side of aging: coordination and fall risk, and the postural and grip-strength markers that track cognitive and biological decline. You are here: Geriatrics 206.
206: Coordination & Balance Rehab
207: Head Posture, Cognition and Grip Strength
Every course in the series is 2 PACE-approved CE hours at $40, and the automatic bundle discounts apply across the whole lane.
What You'll Learn in Geriatrics 206
Analyse the neuroanatomy of coordination in the elderly — the cerebellum, the vestibular system and proprioceptive pathways — and how each changes with age.
Identify objective clinical markers for coordination loss and balance instability, and assess fall risk before a fall demonstrates it.
Select evidence-based neuro-rehabilitative exercise protocols matched to the system driving the deficit.
Structure a balance and coordination programme aimed at reducing fall risk and preserving independence.
Your Geriatrics Faculty
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN,instructor of this course. Chiropractic neurology specialist, founder of BrainDC.org and Neurology Faculty at CCEDseminars, with more than 30 years of clinical and academic experience. He teaches the neurological files in this category — coordination, balance and the postural and cognitive markers of aging (206–207).
Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN,Executive Member of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition and Clinical Nutrition Faculty at CCEDseminars. He teaches the nutritional and functional-medicine side of geriatric care — the bone, metabolic and lifestyle files (201, 205).
Donald Ozello, DC, CCN, CCSM,Sports chiropractor, founder of Championship Chiropractic in Las Vegas, and Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine Faculty at CCEDseminars. He teaches functional movement and rehabilitation for athletes and seniors, and carries the three regional osteoarthritis files (202–204).

Where Geriatrics CE Hours Count — State Rules Worth Knowing
Geriatrics coursework is clinical subject matter — assessment, diagnosis and case management of the aging patient — which is exactly what several state boards ask for. In Iowa, these hours serve the 36-hour clinical case-management minimum; 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 Geriatrics Block
Every course in the Geriatrics series runs 2 hours at $40, 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 — all seven courses together is 14 hours, which clears the 20% tier at roughly $224 instead of $280, with no promo codes. This course pairs with 207 Head Posture, Cognition and Grip Strength, the other neurological file in the category, and rests on 205 Introduction to Aging & Longevity for the cellular brain-ageing picture underneath coordination loss. 203 Lower Extremity Osteoarthritis supplies the joint side of an unsteady gait.

Geriatrics 206 — Frequently Asked Questions
What does Geriatrics 206 cover?
The neurological foundations of coordination and balance in the ageing patient: the cerebellum, vestibular system and proprioceptive pathways and how each changes with age; the objective clinical markers that identify coordination loss and balance instability; and evidence-based neuro-rehabilitative exercise protocols to reduce fall risk and preserve independence.
How many CE hours is this course, and what does it cost?
2 PACE-approved CE hours for $40, or $20 per hour. Ordering 6–9 hours at once takes 10% off automatically and 10 or more takes 20% off — the full seven-course Geriatrics series is 14 hours and clears the 20% tier. No promo codes.
How do you assess fall risk in an older patient?
By finding the objective markers of coordination loss and balance instability rather than waiting for a fall to report them. The course covers which markers are worth measuring, what each one implicates — cerebellar, vestibular or proprioceptive — and how that determines the rehabilitation that follows.
Is this a functional neurology course?
It is neurologically grounded and taught by a chiropractic neurology specialist, but it is built for general practice: the anatomy is covered so the assessment and the exercise prescription make sense, not as an end in itself.
Will this course count toward my state CE requirement?
In most states, yes — this is clinical patient-care subject matter, and it is PACE-approved and co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College. Online-format allowances and clinical-hour minimums vary, so check your state guide in the full state directory before you build your renewal plan.
State Approval and Licensing Reminder
Continuing education requirements — including online-hour caps and clinical-hour minimums — vary by jurisdiction. Review the online chiropractic CE guidelines page and contact CCEDseminars with questions about your specific licensing requirements before registering.
