The Council on Extremity Adjusting

The Council on Extremity Adjusting (CEA) is a non-profit organization that certifies chiropractors in extremity practioning. The CEA believes that treatment of the whole body requires schronizing the nervous system and the mechanical control system. Joint subluxations have both neurological and mechanical components that must be addressed. Mechanoreceptors are embedded in the tissues surrounding joints. When these tissues get stretched by a misalignment (subluxation) of the joint, this activates a weakening of the adjacent muscle. CCEP certified chiropractors and physicians are trained to discover these weak muscles and correct the misaligned joint, thus restoring normal strength to the patient.
