WHY THIS PROGRAM EXISTS
This Isn't an NBCE Exam, and Your Preparation Should Reflect That
The CCSP® certification examination is administered through the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians™ (ACBSP™). Unlike Parts I through IV of your chiropractic boards, the CCSP is a professional sports chiropractic certification examination — and it's offered only twice each year.
That means your preparation needs to be intentional. You don't want to get close to your testing date and suddenly realize how much material you need to bring back together.
Work through the material on your own schedule, on demand
Return to the sections that still feel unclear as your date approaches
Study with a plan instead of scrambling to reassemble everything at once
Study when it works for you. Rewatch what you need. Prepare with a plan.
Sports Medicine Is More Than Orthopedic Injuries
When people think about sports chiropractic, they often immediately think about shoulders, knees, ankles, and spinal injuries. But the CCSP examination requires a much broader understanding of the athlete — this review reaches well beyond musculoskeletal diagnosis.
The completed program will cover areas including:
THE WHOLE ATHLETE
- Sports Physiology
- Biomechanics
- Sports Nutrition
- Concussion
- Special Conditions
PRACTICE & READINESS
- Team Concepts
- Medico-Legal Concepts
- Environmental Considerations
- Emergency Procedures
- Injury Prevention
- Adjunctive Therapies
REGIONAL PATHOLOGY & IMAGING
- Spinal Pathologies
- Upper Extremity Pathologies
- Lower Extremity Pathologies
- Diagnostic Imaging & X-Ray
The goal is to help you organize this broad body of information into something you can understand, retrieve, and apply.
Start My CCSP Review:
Approximately 15 to 16 Hours of Comprehensive CCSP Instruction
When completed, your CCSP Board Review will contain approximately 15 to 16 hours of recorded lecture material covering the major areas of sports chiropractic examination preparation.
Sports Physiology
Review the physiological demands of exercise and athletic performance, then connect those concepts to the athlete you're evaluating and managing.
Team Concepts
Understand the role of the sports chiropractor within the larger sports medicine environment, including working with athletes, coaches, trainers, and other healthcare professionals.
Concussion
Review concussion assessment and management concepts, including recognition, evaluation, clinical decision-making, and return-to-activity considerations.
Biomechanics
Connect biomechanics to athletic movement, injury mechanisms, examination findings, and clinical management.
Sports Nutrition
Review the nutritional concepts relevant to athletic performance, recovery, hydration, and the needs of active patients.
Environmental Considerations
Prepare for conditions related to the athlete's environment, including the factors that can affect performance, safety, and medical decision-making.
Medico-Legal Considerations
Review the professional, legal, documentation, and decision-making concepts that become particularly important when caring for athletes.
Adjunctive Therapies
Organize the adjunctive treatment approaches that may be incorporated into sports chiropractic management.
Special Conditions
Review important special populations and conditions that can affect athletic participation, examination, management, and return-to-play decisions.
Injury Prevention
Move beyond treating an injury after it occurs.
Review the concepts involved in identifying risk, reducing injury potential, and helping athletes participate more safely.
Emergency Procedures
Know how to recognize when an athletic situation has moved beyond routine musculoskeletal care and requires immediate action. We'll review the concepts and sequencing that matter when you're managing an emergency rather than simply memorizing isolated procedures.
Then We Take a Regional Approach to Sports Injuries
Once we move into the musculoskeletal material, I organize the information in a way that helps you see the complete clinical picture.
Spine
Review common spinal conditions and injuries relevant to sports chiropractic, including presentation, examination findings, management considerations, and relevant imaging.
Upper Extremity
Work through common athletic conditions involving the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. Instead of memorizing a collection of injury names, we connect:
Lower Extremity
Apply the same approach to the hip, knee, lower leg, ankle, and foot.
That's clinical reasoning, not just memorization.
Diagnostic Imaging Is Part of the Clinical Picture
Sports injuries don't exist separately from imaging.
That's why relevant X-ray and Diagnostic Imaging findings are incorporated into the CCSP review. We'll connect the imaging findings back to the injury and clinical presentation so you're not simply memorizing what an abnormality looks like.
Instead, I want you asking:
Image recognition becomes much easier when it has a clinical context.
Knowing the Material Isn't Enough.
You Have to Apply It.
That's why I'm incorporating Putting It Together instruction into the CCSP Review.
We'll take the information you've learned and work through potential test questions and clinical scenarios.
Instead of simply asking:
“Do I remember this fact?”
We start asking:
This is where the individual pieces begin becoming clinical reasoning.
Learn it. Connect it. Apply it.
TEST STRATEGY
Learn the Content, Then Learn How It May Be Tested
One of the themes you'll recognize throughout Chiro Boards & Beyond is that I don't believe exam preparation should stop with content review.
You also need to understand how multiple-choice questions work.
Throughout the CCSP Review, I'll highlight concepts that are likely to create confusion and help you recognize:
- Similar conditions with overlapping findings
- Important differentiating features
- Plausible distractors
- Questions where more than one statement may sound correct
- Small details that change the best answer
And one of my most important testing rules still applies: Answer the question they actually asked.
Start Studying Today:
Built by a Chiropractor Who Understands Both Sides of Sports Medicine
Sports medicine has been part of my professional background long before creating this course.
I bring experience from both allopathic sports medicine and chiropractic practice into the way I teach this material.
That perspective allows us to look at more than simply:
“What is the diagnosis?”
I want you thinking:
This Is Board Prep You Can Bring Back to the Office
Passing the CCSP examination is the immediate goal.
But this isn't information you should forget once the test is over.
You're preparing for a sports chiropractic credential because you want to expand what you can do for athletes and active patients.
The test is one day.
The clinical knowledge comes back to the office with you.
That's the “Beyond” in Chiro Boards & Beyond.
STUDY ON YOUR OWN SCHEDULE
Study around your practice, not the other way around.
Most doctors preparing for the CCSP examination aren't sitting in a classroom all day. You're seeing patients, running a practice, managing a family, completing continuing education — and somehow fitting exam preparation into everything else.
That's exactly where on-demand learning becomes valuable.
Watch the lectures when your schedule allows. Pause when a patient walks in. Rewatch a difficult concept. Return to concussion. Go back through emergency procedures.
The classroom waits for you.
On-Demand Doesn't Mean On Your Own
You're not purchasing 15 to 16 hours of recorded material and then being expected to figure everything else out by yourself. Your CCSP Review also includes access to scheduled live online Office Hours with Dr. Jo.
As you're working through the program, bring your questions.
- Confused about an injury presentation? Ask.
- Want clarification on a concussion concept? Bring it.
- Can't differentiate two similar orthopedic conditions? Let's work through them.
- Have a question about a potential test question? Let's break it apart.
- Confused about an injury presentation? Ask.
- Want clarification on a concussion concept? Bring it.
- Can't differentiate two similar orthopedic conditions? Let's work through them.
- Have a question about a potential test question? Let's break it apart.
Office Hours allow you to combine the flexibility of on-demand learning with opportunities for live instructor support and clarification.
