Athletic Injuries 211 is a chiropractic sports medicine course on the upper-body toll of the golf swing — the asymmetrical, high-velocity rotation that loads the lead shoulder, the trail elbow, the wrists, and the thoracic spine on every rep of a repetition sport. Dr. Donald Ozello analyzes the phases of the swing to identify biomechanical power leaks and injury triggers, works through advanced orthopedic assessment of medial epicondylosis (golfer's elbow) and rotator cuff pathology, identifies the thoracic spine and rib cage dysfunctions that repetitive rotational loading produces, and builds integrated chiropractic treatment plans around joint mobility, neuromuscular control, and performance longevity — with the equipment, grip, and corrective-exercise strategies that keep rotational trauma from recurring.
Golf is the sport chiropractic patients never retire from — the swing follows them from the men's league to the senior tee, and its injuries walk into every practice: the elbow that aches at the top of the backswing, the lead shoulder that pinches, the mid-back that has stopped rotating. This 2-hour online course is built for the doctor who treats golfers of any handicap, from weekend players to competitive amateurs, with evaluation and treatment that speak the swing's own language. 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 other rotational and overhead loads on the roster — 212 Racquet Sports Injuries for golf's rotational sibling, 206 Athletic Injuries of the Shoulder for the lead-arm shoulder in depth, and 201 Hand & Thumb for the grip end of the club.
