Vital signs are the most-taken and least-thought-about measurements in clinical practice. Neurology 208 goes back to why they are the gold standard at all — what each one actually indicates physiologically — before returning to how they are taken, because a number recorded badly is worse than no number.
The distinctive move is the lens. Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and oximetry are read here through a functional neurological frame, so that the values inform patient analysis rather than filling a form field. The course also covers recent developments and the normal-versus-pathological ranges that separate a finding from a fluctuation.
Choose Your Neurology Path — Three Lanes, One Curriculum
The Neurology series runs from what you can measure at the bedside, through the brain systems that explain the findings, to the structures a chiropractor actually treats. Courses 201–210 are the first block of a larger clinical-neurology curriculum; each is two hours.
1 · Measurement and Monitoring (203, 208)
What you measure in the room and what the numbers actually mean — oximetry and vital signs read through a functional neurological lens rather than as box-ticking. You are here: Neurology 208.
203: Pulse Oximetry in Chiropractic
208: Vital Signs for Chiropractors
2 · Brain Systems (202, 204–206)
The cortical and cerebellar files: what chronic pain does to the brain, how the pyramidal system governs tone and symmetry, and what the frontal lobes and cerebellum contribute to everything else.
202: Pain & the Central Nervous System
204: Clinical Aspects of the Pyramidal Man
205: Functional Neurology & Frontal Lobes
206: Functional Neurology & the Cerebellum
3 · Spine, Balance and Clinical Integration (201, 207, 209, 210)
Where neurology meets the structures a chiropractor actually treats — the cord, the vestibular apparatus, the craniocervical junction — and three worked cases that put the whole method together.
201: Chiropractic Myelopathy Management
207: Exploring the Vestibular System
209: Guzay’s Theorem & Craniocervical Neurology
210: Chiropractic Clinical Case Studies
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 Neurology 208
Explain the true clinical importance of each vital sign and the physiological state it indicates.
Master advanced measurement technique and distinguish normal from pathological ranges.
Interpret blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and oximetry through a functional neurological lens.
Apply recent developments in vital-sign assessment to improve patient analysis and clinical outcomes.
Your Neurology Faculty
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN,instructor of this course and of the entire Neurology curriculum. A chiropractic neurology specialist, founder of BrainDC.org and Neurology Faculty at CCEDseminars, with more than 30 years of clinical and academic experience. He teaches functional neurology, neurological assessment and clinical neuroscience with an emphasis on case-based, evidence-informed application — translating complex neurological concepts into clinical reasoning a general practice can use.

Where Neurology CE Hours Count — State Rules Worth Knowing
Clinical neurology 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; 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 Neurology Block
Every course in the Neurology 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 — courses 201–210 together are 20 hours, well past the 20% tier at roughly $320 instead of $400. The full Chiropractic Clinical Neurology (CCN) 201–224 bundle runs 48 hours if you are working toward the certification. This course completes the measurement lane with 203 Pulse Oximetry in Chiropractic, which takes oximetry down to the sensor. 202 Pain & the Central Nervous System explains the autonomic changes that show up in these numbers, and 206 Functional Neurology & the Cerebellum explains why oxygenation carries neurological weight.

Neurology 208 — Frequently Asked Questions
What does Neurology 208 cover?
Vital signs revisited for the modern chiropractic practice: the clinical importance and physiological indicators behind each sign, advanced measurement technique and normal versus pathological ranges, interpretation of blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and oximetry through a functional neurological lens, and recent developments in vital-sign assessment.
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 — courses 201–210 together are 20 hours and clear the 20% tier. No promo codes.
Why do chiropractors need a course on vital signs?
Because taking them is easy and reading them is not. The course treats each sign as a physiological indicator with a neurological interpretation, which turns a routine measurement into information that changes clinical analysis rather than a box on the intake form.
Does this overlap with the pulse oximetry course?
They complement rather than repeat. 208 covers the full set of vital signs and how they read together; 203 goes deep on oximetry alone — sensor science, placement, artifacts and troubleshooting. Most clinicians take both, and together they form the measurement lane.
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.
