Orthopedics 219: The Hip | Chiropractic CE | CCEDseminars

• Hip and Pelvis Anatomy — osseous anatomy (acetabulum, femoral head, greater and lesser trochanter); the acetabular labrum; iliofemoral, pubofemoral, and ischiofemoral ligaments; the hip capsule; muscular anatomy across all planes including the deep external rotators and abductors; neurovascular supply.
• Closed Kinetic Chain Considerations — principles of closed kinetic chain biomechanics in weight-bearing; hip-knee-ankle interdependence (foot pronation, tibial rotation, hip loading); pelvic tilt and lumbar spine relationships; gait analysis including Trendelenburg sign, antalgic gait, and gluteal insufficiency patterns.
• Clinical Conditions of the Hip — hip flexor and adductor strains; greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) and trochanteric bursitis; piriformis syndrome and deep gluteal syndrome; femoroacetabular impingement (cam and pincer); acetabular labral tears; hip osteoarthritis; snapping hip syndrome (coxa saltans); iliopsoas tendinopathy.
• Clinical Evaluation and Imaging — history taking with hip pain patterns and red flag screening; orthopedic special tests (FABER, FADIR, Thomas, Ober, log roll); imaging indications from plain radiograph to MRI, MR arthrography, and diagnostic ultrasound; interpreting findings in clinical context.
• Conservative Treatment Strategies — chiropractic adjustive techniques for the hip and pelvis; soft tissue therapy (myofascial release, IASTM, trigger point work); rehabilitative exercise for the abductors, external rotators, and core; stretching protocols; activity modification and load management; referral criteria and co-management.

Orthopedics 219 is a 2-hour online chiropractic CE course covering hip and pelvis anatomy, closed kinetic chain biomechanics, clinical evaluation with orthopedic special tests and imaging, and the full spectrum of common hip conditions — hip flexor and adductor strains, greater trochanteric pain syndrome, piriformis syndrome, femoroacetabular impingement, acetabular labral tears, hip osteoarthritis, snapping hip syndrome, and iliopsoas tendinopathy — with evidence-based conservative management for each. Chiropractors may search for it as a hip pain course, hip and pelvis CE, or a hip examination course.

Lateral hip pain most often traces to greater trochanteric pain syndrome — the spectrum that includes trochanteric bursitis and gluteal tendinopathy — frequently accompanied by hip abductor weakness that shows itself in gait as a Trendelenburg pattern. Orthopedics 219 covers the presentation, differential diagnosis, examination, and conservative management of GTPS alongside the other major hip conditions chiropractors see in practice.

Orthopedics 219 awards 2 chiropractic CE hours. Your certificate is issued electronically the moment you complete the course and quiz, and is available in your CCEDseminars account. Completions auto-report to CE Broker for participating states.

Doctors who take Orthopedics 219 often add Orthopedics 218: The Floppy Ankle, 226: Gait & the Lumbar Spine, and 203: Nerve Entrapments of the Pelvis & Lower Extremities — following the kinetic chain the course itself teaches. All Orthopedics 201–224 courses also count toward the 48-hour CCO certification.
