Athletic Injuries 209 is a chiropractic sports medicine course on the evaluation and management of common exercise-related injuries — the presentations that training errors, technique flaws, and load progression produce in predictable ways, from general fitness clients to dedicated athletes. Dr. Donald Ozello moves from the common acute and overuse injuries of exercising populations and the anatomy, physiology, and mechanisms behind them, through the diagnostic tools and clinical decision-making for exercise-related conditions of the spine and extremities, to chiropractic applications for overuse and traumatic injuries, rehabilitation principles with progression concepts, and the patient education that supports injury prevention and safe exercise programming.
This is the Athletic Injuries course for the patients who don't call themselves athletes — the new gym member three weeks into a program, the group-fitness regular, the patient your own care plan just sent to exercise. Their injuries are as mechanical as any sport's, and the doctor who can diagnose the training error behind the tissue complaint becomes the one they trust with the whole program. This 2-hour online course closes the Region & Recovery lane with exactly that skill set. Every completion generates an instant certificate for your renewal file.

Your Sports Medicine Faculty
Donald Ozello, DC, CCN, CCSM — instructor of this course — authors the sport-specific core of the series, nine courses spanning basketball through racquet sports, as a certified sports-medicine chiropractor who also leads the Adjusting & Manual Therapy curriculum. A 1995 graduate of the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, Navy veteran, and founder of Championship Chiropractic in Las Vegas, Dr. Ozello is certified in sports medicine and clinical nutrition and serves as faculty for CCEDseminars and Texas Chiropractic College. His courses read the sport first: the movement demands, the loading patterns, and the injuries they predict.
Dennis O'Hara, DC, DACBSP brings the sports specialty's board credential — Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Practitioners — to the highest-stakes coursework: emergency procedures for the sideline physician (203) and athletic injuries of the shoulder (206).
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN examines football's turf toe (208) with a chiropractic neurologist's precision, and Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN — board-certified in clinical nutrition — teaches dehydration and heat illness (213) where physiology and field safety meet.

Where Athletic Injury Hours Count — State Rules Worth Knowing
Athletic injury coursework is clinical subject matter — assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation — 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-building coursework earns no credit at all — patient-care education like this counts fully under 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 CE 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 complete 26-hour series lands at roughly $416 instead of $520, with no promo codes. The natural pairings for this course are the rest of the Region & Recovery lane — 201 Hand & Thumb and 206 Athletic Injuries of the Shoulder — plus 207 Weight Lifting, the barbell-specific deep dive on the same training-room population.

Athletic Injuries 209 — Frequently Asked Questions
What does Athletic Injuries 209 cover?
Exercise-related injuries from mechanism to safe programming: common acute and overuse injuries across body regions, the anatomy, physiology, and mechanisms underlying them, diagnostic tools and clinical decision-making for exercise-related conditions, chiropractic applications for overuse and traumatic injuries, rehabilitation principles and progression concepts, and patient education for injury prevention and safe exercise programming. Also known as gym injuries, fitness training injuries, overuse injury management, exercise programming for patients, and chiropractic care for active populations.
How many CE hours is Athletic Injuries 209, and what is the format?
2 CE hours, fully online and self-paced — a recorded online presentation you can pause and resume at any time, followed by an assessment. Your certificate is available in your account immediately upon successful completion, and you have up to one year from the date of purchase to complete the course.
Does this course apply to regular gym members, or only competitive athletes?
Both — and the everyday exerciser is the point. The course is built around the presentations that training errors, technique flaws, and load progression produce in general fitness clients as much as dedicated athletes: the overuse complaint three weeks into a new program, the acute strain from a technique flaw, the flare-up when volume jumps. The evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation progressions, and programming education apply to every active patient in the practice, including the ones your own care plan sends to exercise.
