Orthopedic evaluation is where the chiropractic visit is won — the test selected, performed correctly, and interpreted with confidence is what separates a diagnosis from a guess. This category is the testing bench: 26 courses and 52 hours covering nerve entrapment syndromes from the thoracic outlet to the tarsal tunnel, joint-by-joint evaluation from the rotator cuff to the floppy ankle, spine stability and position-sense testing, and the red flags — cauda equina, dropped head syndrome — that change everything downstream.
Five faculty teach it, and the credentials match the content: a Fellow of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists, a Diplomate of the International Academy of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine, a sports-medicine Diplomate, a chiropractic neurologist bringing the ortho/neuro lens, and a clinical nutritionist on the inflammation science. Doctors pursuing structured credentials can pair this category with the CCEDseminars certification programs, including the orthopedics track.
Twenty-six courses organize into three working lanes — trace the nerve, evaluate the joint, and catch the presentations that change management. Representative courses below; the full catalog lives in the grid at the bottom of this page.
Dr. Riggs' designed three-course sequence — the entrapment map from shoulder girdle to tarsal tunnel — plus the athlete's stinger.
201: Upper Extremity Entrapments · 202: Trunk & Upper Extremity · 203: Pelvis & Lower Extremities · 221: Burner Syndrome
Regional evaluation and management down the kinetic chain — the joints your schedule is made of.
204: Rotator Cuff Syndrome · 206: Frozen Shoulder · 212: The Neck & Shoulder · 219: The Hip · 216: Plica Syndrome · 215: Foot & Ankle Conditions · 217: Achilles Tendinitis · 218: The Floppy Ankle · 225: Stress Fracture
Stability testing, functional assessment, and the presentations that demand recognition — plus the chronic pain and inflammation science underneath.
205: Cervical Spine Instability · 211: Cervical Position Sense · 214: Cauda Equina & Lumbar Radiculopathy · 222: Dropped Head Syndrome · 220: Cervicovagopathy · 226: Gait & the Lumbar Spine · 209: The Romberg Sign · 207: Finger to Floor & Sit-n-Reach · 208: Managing Chronic Pain · 210: Inflammatory Disc Disease
New orthopedics courses are added as faculty release them — the course grid below always shows the current catalog.
• Orthopedic examination procedures for the spine and extremities — test selection, correct performance, and interpretation you can defend in the chart.
• The nerve entrapment map: recognizing, localizing, and differentiating compression syndromes from the thoracic outlet to the tarsal tunnel.
• Regional mastery down the kinetic chain — rotator cuff and frozen shoulder, hip, knee, foot and ankle — with the ortho/neuro perspective on chronic and recurrent presentations.
• Red-flag recognition that protects patients and licenses: cervical instability, cauda equina, dropped head syndrome, and when to image, co-manage, or refer.
John Riggs III, MBA, DC, DIANM — Diplomate of the International Academy of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine — authors the three-course nerve entrapment series (201–203), the category's systematic backbone.
Steven Yeomans, DC, FACO — Fellow of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists — teaches rotator cuff syndrome, the cervical spine instability how-to, and chronic pain management.
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN — chiropractic neurologist — teaches 16 of the 26 courses, bringing the ortho/neuro lens to joint evaluation: the floppy ankle, cervicovagopathy, coronal plane movement, gait and the lumbar spine.
Dennis O'Hara, DC, DACBSP — sports-medicine Diplomate — covers the neck and shoulder, orthopedic conditions of the foot and ankle, and the hip.
Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN — board-certified clinical nutritionist — teaches the inflammatory properties of contained and non-contained disc disease, the biochemistry under the biomechanics.

Orthopedics coursework is clinical subject matter — examination, diagnosis, and case management — which serves the clinical-hour structures many states impose: Iowa's 36-hour clinical case-management minimum, Rhode Island's 50-of-60 clinical requirement, and Vermont's clinical-focus rule, where patient-care education like this counts fully.
Online-format allowances vary by jurisdiction — some states accept all hours online, others cap or condition distance learning. Check your state's guide in the full state directory before building your renewal plan.
Every course is 2 hours at $40, and the automatic discounts stack: three courses (6 hours) earns 10% off, five or more (10+ hours) earns 20% off — the full entrapment series plus a joint lane, or your whole renewal cycle from one category. No promo codes; discounts calculate at checkout.
Online continuing education in orthopedic evaluation and management for chiropractors: nerve entrapment syndromes of the upper extremity, trunk, pelvis, and lower extremity; joint-by-joint assessment from rotator cuff and frozen shoulder to hip, foot, and ankle; spine stability testing; and orthopedic red flags including cauda equina and dropped head syndrome. Courses run 2 CE hours each, on-demand, with an assessment and instant certificate.
Follow your caseload. The three-course nerve entrapment series (201–203) is a designed sequence covering the upper extremity, trunk, and pelvis/lower extremity — a strong systematic starting block. Shoulder-heavy practices start with rotator cuff (204) and frozen shoulder (206); lower-extremity practices with the hip (219) or foot and ankle (215). The pathway map above shows representative courses in each lane.
Five credentialed faculty: John Riggs III, MBA, DC, DIANM authors the nerve entrapment series; Steven Yeomans, DC, FACO — a Fellow of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists — teaches rotator cuff, cervical instability, and chronic pain; Michael Hall, DC, FIACN brings the ortho/neuro perspective across 16 courses; Dennis O'Hara, DC, DACBSP covers the neck and shoulder, foot and ankle, and hip; and Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN teaches inflammatory disc disease.
Orthopedics coursework is clinical subject matter — examination, diagnosis, and case management — which serves clinical-hour minimums like Iowa's 36-hour clinical case-management requirement and Rhode Island's 50-of-60 rule, and clinical-focus standards like Vermont's. Online-format allowances still vary by jurisdiction; verify your state's online rules in its guide before registering.
Courses are $20 per credit hour, and discounts apply automatically in a single order — 10% off at 6–9 hours, 20% off at 10 or more. Each completion generates an instant PDF certificate with a permanent copy in your account dashboard. No promo codes.
