Certified Chiropractic Sports physician®*

The CCSP® (Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician®*) certification requires the doctor to attend a minimum of 100 hours of a 120 hour postgraduate CCSP program. The hours mentioned are class hours. Following the completion of these hours, the doctor must take and successfully pass a comprehensive written examination to receive the CCSP certification.

While our doctors do not have an expiration date of their certification, they do have continuing education requirements to remain active. A CCSP is required to obtain 12.0 CEUs (hours) each year. In addition, they must pay an annual recertification fee and maintain a current CPR certification. If a doctor should not meet their recertification requirements at the end of a period, they will go into inactive status.
