Two of the cheapest measurements in the room — where the head sits and how hard the hand squeezes — carry more predictive weight in an older patient than almost anything else you can do in two minutes. Geriatrics 207 takes forward head posture and grip strength seriously as clinical indicators rather than incidental findings, and works through the research connecting each to cognitive and biological ageing.
Forward head posture is examined for its effect on the health and cognitive preservation of seniors; grip strength is examined as a biomarker associated with mortality and biological age. The course then covers the assessment tools for both, and the chiropractic interventions that act on posture and function together — which is where a structural finding becomes a neurological one.
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 207.
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 207
Analyse the research linking forward head posture to cognitive decline and to broader health outcomes in seniors.
Explain why grip strength is treated as a clinical biomarker of mortality risk and biological ageing, and what a declining measure implies.
Apply assessment tools for postural evaluation and grip-strength measurement in an ordinary clinical encounter.
Select chiropractic interventions that address head posture and function together, with physical and cognitive outcomes both in view.

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 206 Coordination & Balance Rehab, the other neurological file in the category, and draws its cellular brain-ageing background from 205 Introduction to Aging & Longevity. 202 Spinal Osteoarthritis Management covers the degenerative cervical picture that often accompanies forward head posture.

Geriatrics 207 — Frequently Asked Questions
What does Geriatrics 207 cover?
The connection between forward head posture, cognitive function and grip strength in the ageing population: the research linking postural misalignment to cognitive decline, grip strength as a clinical biomarker of mortality risk and biological ageing, the assessment tools for both, and the chiropractic interventions that address posture and function together.
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.
Why is grip strength considered a biomarker of aging?
Because it tracks with outcomes far beyond the hand. Grip strength is associated with mortality risk and biological age in the research literature, which makes a dynamometer reading a low-cost proxy for systemic decline — and a repeatable measure you can trend across visits.
Does forward head posture really affect cognition?
The course examines the research on that correlation rather than asserting it. What it establishes is why the association is taken seriously, what the proposed mechanisms are, and how to assess head posture in a way that is defensible when a patient or a colleague asks.
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.
