Athletic Injuries 202 is a focused chiropractic sports medicine course on the injury patterns basketball produces — the inversion ankle sprain on a landing, the patellar tendon that will not tolerate another jump, the jammed finger from a pass, and the acute ligamentous trauma of a cut that plants and turns. Dr. Donald Ozello moves from the anatomy of the injured areas and basketball-specific mechanisms of injury, through patient sports chiropractic evaluation procedures and in-office diagnostic tools, to clinical chiropractic applications, patient education, and the short- and long-term recovery strategies that return the player to the court and keep the injury from recurring.
Basketball is played year-round, from youth leagues to masters pick-up, and its athletes rarely wait for a sports-medicine referral — they bring the ankle, the knee, and the finger to the chiropractor they already see. This 2-hour online course is built for the doctor providing sports or team coverage and for the practice that simply sees a lot of players, with evaluation and treatment protocols that apply the next morning. Every completion generates an instant certificate for your renewal file.

Where Athletic Injury Hours Count — State Rules Worth Knowing
Sports injury evaluation and management is core clinical subject matter, which is exactly what several state boards ask for. In Iowa, these hours feed the 36-hour clinical case-management minimum; in Rhode Island, they serve the 50-of-60 clinical requirement; and in Vermont — where practice-management and philosophy coursework earns no credit at all — athletic injury coursework sits squarely inside the clinical-focus rule.
Online-format allowances still vary by state — some accept every hour online, others cap distance learning or require in-person blocks. Check your state's guide in the full state directory before building your renewal plan.
Build Your Sports Medicine Block
Every course in the series is 2 hours at $40, so the automatic discounts do the bundling for you: any three courses (6 hours) earns 10% off, and five or more (10+ hours) in a single order earns 20% off — the full 26-hour series lands at roughly $416 instead of $520, with no promo codes. The natural pairings for this course are the regions basketball injures most — 201 Hand & Thumb for the jammed finger and 209 Exercise Injuries for the overuse presentations — and 203 Emergency Procedures for the Sideline Physician for the doctor covering games.
