Athletic Injuries 212 is a chiropractic sports medicine course on the explosive, asymmetrical stressors of tennis, pickleball, and racquetball — the kinetic chain from the ground up, where footwork feeds the trunk, the trunk feeds the shoulder, and the failure point announces itself at the elbow or wrist. Dr. Donald Ozello analyzes the biomechanics of the overhead serve and groundstrokes to identify precise injury mechanisms, works through advanced orthopedic assessment of lateral epicondylosis (tennis elbow) and rotator cuff tendinopathy, examines the relationship between thoracic rotation and lower-extremity stability in asymmetrical racquet movements, and builds integrated treatment plans that combine spinal adjustments with extremity-specific rehabilitation — down to grip size, string tension, and footwork patterns that mitigate repetitive trauma.
The pickleball boom has refilled every public court in the country and sent a generation of returning athletes to the chiropractor with elbows, shoulders, and low backs that remember a faster game. This 2-hour online course is built for the doctor treating racquet athletes from league tennis to weekend pickleball — the fastest-growing injury population in sports medicine — with evaluation that finds the kinetic-chain link that actually failed. 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 rotational and overhead set — 211 Upper Body Golf Injuries for the rotational sibling, 206 Athletic Injuries of the Shoulder for the serving shoulder in depth, and 201 Hand & Thumb for the grip end of the racquet.

Athletic Injuries 212 — Frequently Asked Questions
What does Athletic Injuries 212 cover?
Racquet sports injuries from the ground up: the biomechanics of the overhead serve and groundstrokes and the precise injury mechanisms within them, advanced orthopedic assessment of lateral epicondylosis (tennis elbow) and rotator cuff tendinopathy, extensor carpi radialis brevis strain, shoulder impingement, and lumbar facet irritation, the relationship between thoracic rotation and lower-extremity stability in asymmetrical movements, and integrated treatment plans combining spinal adjustments with extremity-specific rehabilitation — plus grip size, string tension, and footwork strategies that mitigate repetitive trauma. Also known as tennis injuries CE, pickleball injuries course, tennis elbow treatment, racquetball injuries, and chiropractic sports medicine for racquet athletes.
How many CE hours is Athletic Injuries 212, and what is the format?

Does this course cover tennis elbow and pickleball injuries?
Yes. Lateral epicondylosis — the ECRB strain behind tennis elbow — is the course's central pathology, taught with the orthopedic assessment that confirms it and the loading strategy that resolves it, and the same serve-and-groundstroke mechanics apply across tennis, pickleball, and racquetball. The pickleball population gets particular attention because its returning athletes bring decades-old movement patterns to an explosive, asymmetrical game — exactly the kinetic-chain failure this course teaches you to find.
