Each domain is grounded in the clinical evidence base of chiropractic sports medicine, translated into the protocols a practicing DC uses with athletes, active patients, and sport-specific rehabilitation. Tap any domain to expand.
Chiropractic integration: The DC at a sporting event or in a clinic seeing an acute injury must triage, stabilize, and make the return-to-play or refer-out decision in real time. This domain builds the sideline and same-day assessment skillset.
Chiropractic integration: Hip, knee, ankle, and foot injuries dominate the sports-injury caseload. The DC who treats athletes must assess biomechanical chains, differentiate overuse from acute pathology, and build rehab progressions that return the athlete to sport.
Chiropractic integration: Shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand injuries require sport-specific assessment that accounts for throwing mechanics, overhead demand, and grip-dependent performance. The DC integrates manual therapy with progressive loading protocols.
Chiropractic integration: Youth athletes, aging recreational athletes, and sport-specific populations each present unique risk profiles. Domain 4 covers the age-specific, sport-specific, and nutrition-specific variables that modify the standard sports-medicine approach.
Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians with 30+ years of clinical experience treating athletes. Dr. O’Hara leads the acute injury management, lower extremity, and upper extremity modules, bringing sideline and clinic-based sports medicine expertise to every course.

Credential transparency. The CCSM certificate is a post-doctoral certificate of completion recognizing 48 hours of advanced learning in chiropractic sports medicine. It is not a board diplomate credential. Doctors pursuing the Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (DACBSP) typically need 100+ post-graduate hours plus examination. CCSM hours may serve as foundational study toward that pathway depending on the board's current acceptance policy — verify with ACBSP before enrolling.
