Do you treat grappling athletes in your practice? 🤼‍♂️

Most sports injury programs focus on field and court sports — not combat athletes on the mat. That’s why Dr. Dustin Nabhan created this NEW 4-hour course specifically for sports chiropractors treating grapplers.

Learn evidence-based strategies to evaluate injuries, manage care, and safely return athletes to competition using:
✅ Real-world video analysis
✅ Current emergency care protocols
✅ Spinal rehabilitation
✅ Extremity injury management
✅ Sport-specific rehab principles

If you work with wrestlers, BJJ athletes, MMA fighters, or other grapplers, this course was built for you.

Stretching & Athletic Performance

Not all stretching is created equal.

This DConline infographic highlights the practical differences between static, dynamic, and PNF stretching and reviews when each may be most appropriate for:

• performance preparation
• speed and agility work
• strength and power activity
• rehabilitation and recovery

Bottom line:
Dynamic stretching usually works best before explosive activity. Static and PNF stretching are often better used after activity or in rehab settings.

Evidence-based education for clinicians.

Oxygen Administration for Doctors of Chiropractic
Evidence-Guided Practical Training
4 CE Hours | Fully Online | Self-Paced

Many Doctors of Chiropractic have expressed interest in additional training on the safe and appropriate clinical use of supplemental oxygen.

In real practice we occasionally encounter situations where oxygen may be appropriate, including:

• Syncope or presyncope
• Respiratory distress
• Exertional collapse in athletes
• Dysautonomia or autonomic instability
• Acute clinical deterioration while a patient is under our care

This course provides clear, practical, evidence-guided training in:

• Oxygen physiology and hypoxia
• Proper setup and operation of oxygen equipment
• Nasal cannula, simple mask, and non-rebreather mask selection
• Correct flow-rate decisions
• Emergency decision-making and EMS activation
• Safety, storage, and handling of oxygen cylinders
• Documentation standards
• Scope considerations for Doctors of Chiropractic

The goal is simple.

Give clinicians the competence and confidence to apply oxygen safely and appropriately when patient care requires it.

🔎 Top Sports Medicine Extremity Injuries — Do You Recognize the Pattern?

Ankle sprain.
ACL tear.
Femoroacetabular impingement.
Rotator cuff tear.
Thumb UCL injury.

These aren’t rare cases. They’re everyday clinical decisions.

The difference between average and confident care?

✔ Understanding mechanism
✔ Recognizing instability patterns
✔ Identifying red flags early
✔ Applying a structured evaluation framework
✔ Managing return-to-play intelligently

We built this visual guide to help you quickly connect evaluation to management without overcomplicating what should be systematic.

High-frequency injuries deserve high-confidence pathways.

Take a look at the graphic below and ask yourself:

👉 Could you teach this framework to a colleague?
👉 Are your exam clusters aligned with mechanism?
👉 Are you managing the common injuries with uncommon precision?

From evaluation to management — know what matters.

Colleagues,

I am currently performing a scholarly research study with Dr. Pat Helma and Kayley Shabin UWS Clinical Intern titled:

Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence in Chiropractic Education and Practice

The purpose of this study is to examine and compare perceptions, attitudes, and readiness regarding the integration of artificial intelligence within chiropractic education and clinical practice.

We are seeking participation from:

• Licensed practicing Doctors of Chiropractic
• Chiropractic students

The survey is anonymous, involves minimal risk, and requires approximately 5 minutes to complete.

Your perspective, whether supportive, cautious, or uncertain regarding AI, is valuable to this research.

If you meet the eligibility criteria and are willing to participate, please consider completing the survey below:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSciOwSt-XNuWcs929TypB4Fxt2rNCJYIlPAhIkeqsQYh-japw/viewform

Thank you for contributing to scholarly research within the profession.

New pediatric concussion research reinforces an important clinical principle 🧠

A recently published prospective controlled study examined orthostatic tachycardia and autonomic responses in adolescents with persistent post-concussion symptoms.

The key clinical takeaway:
Post-concussion symptoms sometimes reflect POTS but the patient should not be labeled as POTS without appropriate autonomic testing. Objective data and careful interpretation matter.

Why this matters in practice:
Dizziness, fatigue, exercise intolerance, and lightheadedness after concussion may reflect autonomic dysfunction without meeting strict diagnostic criteria for POTS. Heart rate alone is not a diagnosis. Clinical context and structured testing are essential.

This is why concussion care cannot rely on checklists or single numbers.

In the DConline Concussion Course, we cover:
• How to interpret orthostatic vital signs after concussion
• When findings do and do not support a POTS diagnosis
• Clinical reasoning around dizziness, exercise intolerance, and symptom provocation
• Evidence-guided decision making for rehabilitation and return to activity

For clinicians managing concussion patients who want a practical, evidence-informed approach, this course is built for real-world care.
