IMPORTANT UPDATE from Dr. Kevin Hearon, CEA President
Dear CEA Members and CCEP Practitioners,
It is with heartfelt gratitude that we share an important update about CEA's future. After careful consideration, CEA will end its regular business operations on December 31, 2026. In 2027, CEA will operate only as needed to conduct the remaining seminars it has already committed to offering. After those seminars are completed, the seven-seminar program that CEA has proudly taught for the past 31 years will no longer be offered.
Practitioners who have already earned the CCEP designation will continue to hold that credential, and its status remains unchanged.
For those who have already paid their 2027 membership dues, your name will remain listed on the CCEP Locator through December 31, 2027. If you have not yet paid your 2027 membership dues but would like to remain listed on the locator through 2027, you may do so by paying the annual membership dues of $125 on our website at: https://www.councilonextremityadjusting.com/register
Effective January 1, 2028, the CCEP Locator will be permanently removed.
Words cannot fully express how grateful we are for your membership, trust, encouragement, and participation over the years. For three decades it has been our privilege to serve the chiropractic community, build lasting relationships, and share an educational program in which we have taken tremendous pride. This decision was not made lightly, and we are sincerely sorry that CEA's regular business operations cannot continue beyond 2026. We are grateful for the opportunity to fulfill our remaining seminar commitments in 2027.
Future Educational Opportunities with Dr. Hearon
Although the CEA is winding down its operations, Dr. Hearon will continue teaching extremity adjusting through a new educational series independent of the CEA. This series will consist of four weekends of instruction totaling 50 hours (12.5 hours per weekend) and will be available to doctors interested in further developing their knowledge and skills in extremity adjusting.
The courses include:
• Advanced Principles of TMJ, Ribs, & Shoulder Girdle
• Advanced Principles of Upper Extremity Adjusting
• Advanced Principles of Lower Extremity Adjusting
• Introduction to Principles of Foot, Gait, & Orthotics
Practitioners interested in attending these programs may wish to contact their state association, chiropractic college, or other professional organization regarding the possibility of bringing one of Dr. Hearon's seminars to their area.
Additional details regarding dates, registration, and course offerings will be available soon.
Thank you for being such an important part of CEA's history and community. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us. We will do our best to provide the information and support you need during this transition.
Sincerely,
Kevin Hearon
CEA President

Testimonials
"In 1993 as I was in the middle of the CCEP seminar series, I had a well-known NFL QB walk into my practice with various injuries that were threatening his career. I went to work on his spine and then extremities, which he said no one had ever adjusted before. After one session, he went to practice and came back the next day saying that he felt like a rookie again. He said, 'I don't know what you did yesterday, but I was throwing the ball more accurately than I have for years, my shoulders and feet feel great, that stuff was amazing. I want you to do it again.'
That's where I got my start in team sports. This guy was instrumental in getting me 12-14 of his teammates as new patients, then eventually on with the Indianapolis Colts as their team Chiropractor, which I did for 14 years. I have a lot of success stories with players from chronic to acute, high school athletes, and also my every-day patients, whether they were athletes or not. The extremity education I received from Dr. Hearon has helped shape me as a chiropractor and has been extremely important to the growth of my practice and setting myself apart from others."
