Distinguishing a sprain from a fracture takes systematic evaluation: mechanism of injury, focused history, hands-on examination, and imaging when clinical findings warrant it. Orthopedics 215 teaches chiropractors the examination procedures, imaging decision-making, and differential diagnosis framework to make that call confidently and manage or refer appropriately.
Orthopedics 215 awards 2 chiropractic CE hours. Your certificate is issued electronically the moment you complete the course and quiz, and is available in your CCEDseminars account. Completions auto-report to CE Broker for participating states.
Doctors who take Orthopedics 215 often add Orthopedics 217: Achilles Tendinitis, 218: The Floppy Ankle, and 219: The Hip — a complete lower-extremity block. All Orthopedics 201–224 courses also count toward the 48-hour CCO certification.
