Few measurements in chiropractic carry as much confidence and as little agreement as the cervical curve. It is quoted to patients as a number, tracked as a number, and sold as a number — while the literature behind it is considerably more careful. This course takes the curve seriously without taking the numbers literally.
Two hours on what current research actually establishes about the cervical lordosis and its relationship to the health of the body and brain. The course covers the methods used to assess lordosis and where they disagree, why the honest framing is an arc with a range rather than a target value, and then the strategies that matter — developing the cervical curve, the vestibular system and postural reflexes that hold it, and the daily habits that decide whether any of it lasts.
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 treats, the developing nervous system, and the risks worth screening for. Courses 201–230 are built out here, within a larger clinical-neurology curriculum; each is two hours.
1 · Examination, Testing and Clinical Reasoning
What you measure and what it means — oximetry, vital signs, reflexes, sensory testing, outcome measures and the differential behind a collapse.
203: Pulse Oximetry in Chiropractic
208: Vital Signs for Chiropractors
210: Chiropractic Clinical Case Studies
211: Reflex Assessment in Chiropractic
213: Neurology Tests for Chiropractors
222: Somatosensory Examination Review
224: Outcome Assessments: Neurologic Perspective
235: Syncope
236: Accurate Sensory Testing & the Clinical Examination
2 · Brain Systems, Cognition and Mood
The cortical, cerebellar and limbic files — pain and the CNS, the pyramidal system, frontal lobes and cerebellum, memory, mood, smell and what the brain is popularly believed to do.
202: Pain & the Central Nervous System
204: Clinical Aspects of the Pyramidal Man
205: Functional Neurology & Frontal Lobes
206: Functional Neurology & the Cerebellum
223: Myths of the Brain
228: The Neurophysiology of Happiness
229: Clinical Perspectives Surrounding Memory
233: Anxiety in America
237: The Nose Knows
238: The Science of Happiness
3 · Spine, Posture and Craniocervical
Where neurology meets the structures a chiropractor treats — the cord, the vestibular system, the craniocervical junction, the cervical curve, sleep posture and the mechanics of the ribcage. You are here: Neurology 234.
201: Chiropractic Myelopathy Management
207: Exploring the Vestibular System
209: Guzay’s Theorem & Craniocervical Neurology
225: Current Perspectives of Sleep Posture
231: Ribs and Breathing
234: The Cervical Lordosis
4 · Pediatric and Developmental Neurology
The developing nervous system from birth through adolescence — early plasticity, developmental milestones, and concussion in children and teens.
212: Pediatric Concussion Management
217: The Concussed Teen and Return to Learn
221: Brain Rules for Babies
226: Pediatric Pearls (Ages 0–3)
227: The Vital Child (Ages 5–12)
5 · Motor Control, Tone and Peripheral Nerve
The motor system from cortex to muscle — upper motor neuron anatomy and signs, tone and spasticity, movement disorders and peripheral nerve involvement.
215: Dopamine, Parkinson’s & Chiropractic
218: Chiropractic Perspectives on Tone
240: The Upper Motor Neuron
6 · Autonomic, Vascular and Brain-Health Risk
The autonomic and vascular side of practice — sympathetic and vagal regulation, blood pressure, digestion, stroke risk, and the lifestyle factors that move long-term brain health.
214: Depression and Exercise
216: Is Fitness Important to Health?
219: Cervicogenic Hypertension
220: Chiropractic Stroke Risk Assessment
230: Low Stomach Acid & the Burp Test
232: The IML — Structure, Function & Relevance
239: Dysautonomia
Every course in the series is 2 PACE-approved CE hours at $40, and the automatic bundle discounts apply across the whole lane.

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. 2 CE hours,$40 Browse Neurology Courses
Neurology 234 — Frequently Asked Questions
How much cervical lordosis is normal?
Less settled than the confident numbers suggest, which is the point of the course section titled “It’s Really Not About the Numbers.” The course covers the published ranges and the methods used to measure them, and treats the curve as an arc with a range rather than a single target value that every patient should be driven toward.
Which method should I use to assess lordosis?
The course reviews the available methods of assessing lordosis and what each one actually measures, so the choice is made on reasoning rather than habit. It also covers where the methods disagree — which matters, because a measurement that changes with technique is not a measurement you can build a treatment plan on.
Does the research support correcting the cervical curve?
The course examines the current research on cervical lordosis and its relationship to the health of the body and brain, including what the studies do and do not establish. It is written to let you read the evidence rather than to sell a position, and the honest summary is that the relationship is better supported than the precise numeric targets are.
What does the vestibular system have to do with the cervical curve?
The vestibular system and postural reflexes are part of how the curve is maintained moment to moment — posture is actively held by reflex, not passively stacked. The course covers this in the strategies section, which is why developing the curve is treated as a neurological task as much as a structural one.
What can a patient do between visits?
The course closes on daily habits that promote better health and a better curve. That is deliberately the last section: the in-office work sets the conditions, and what the patient does with the other hundred and sixty-seven hours largely determines whether it holds.
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.

The curve matters. The number is less certain than it sounds. This course covers both honestly, then gives you the strategies.
