Athletic Injuries 204: Swimming Injuries | Online Chiropractic CE

Athletic Injuries 204: Swimming Injuries is a focused chiropractic sports medicine course designed to help chiropractors confidently evaluate and manage common injuries in swimmers. Because repetitive stroke patterns and training volume place unique demands on the shoulders, spine, hips, and knees, understanding swimming-specific biomechanics is essential for effective care.

This two-hour online CE class reviews the anatomy and physiology of frequently injured regions in swimmers, mechanisms of overuse and acute injury, and practical in-office chiropractic treatment strategies. Emphasis is placed on accurate diagnosis, extremity and spinal adjusting options, and patient education for prevention and safe return to sport.
