Title: Sports Medicine Radiology: A Case-based Approach for Chiropractors
Speaker: Dr. Beverly Harger, DC, DACBR
CEs: 2 hours
Sponsor:

Course description and Outline
This 2‑hour case‑based course is designed for chiropractors who manage athletes and active individuals across all competitive levels. Through real clinical scenarios, attendees will enhance their ability to integrate radiologic findings with functional biomechanics, manual therapy planning, and evidence‑informed return‑to‑play decision‑making. The course emphasizes subtle imaging clues that impact chiropractic management, including identifying when musculoskeletal injuries are safe to treat conservatively and when advanced imaging, co‑management, or referral is warranted. Participants will review X‑ray, MRI, CT, and ultrasound applications relevant to sports injuries of the spine and extremities, including stress injuries, ligamentous instability, cartilage lesions, and high‑risk fracture patterns. This course supports improved diagnostic confidence, greater safety, and optimized sports performance outcomes.
Learner Outcomes
Participants will be able to:
Interpret common sports‑related imaging findings and connect them to functional movement patterns and chiropractic management.
Select appropriate imaging based on mechanism of injury, red‑flag screening, and likely tissue involvement.
Differentiate stable from unstable injuries that may contraindicate manipulation or require orthopedic referral.
Recognize subtle radiographic/MRI clues that impact rehabilitation, loading progressions, and return‑to‑play timelines.
Use case‑based reasoning to develop safe, evidence‑informed treatment plans.

Dr. Beverly Harger creates an interactive learning environment that stimulates interest in the role of imaging in patient care. Her programs motivate clinicians to remain up to date on current concepts in clinical imaging. Her imaging presentations are interesting and helpful in providing doctors with practical radiographic and clinical information for their daily practice.
Dr. Harger is a chiropractic radiologist with more than 28 years of clinical experience. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from University of Western States (UWS) in 1987. In 1992, she completed her radiology residency at UWS and attained her diplomate status from the American Chiropractic Board of Radiology. She is a professor and director of the MS in diagnostic imaging. as well as the clinical radiologist for UWS.
Her presentations address the importance of knowing imaging algorithms and understanding when imaging has a role in establishing diagnosis. Utilizing radiology case studies, clinicians will learn to differentiate many common conditions and not-so-common conditions, along with patient history and physical examination.
Dr. Harger holds memberships in the ACA Council on Diagnostic Imaging and the American Chiropractic College of Radiology. She was named the UWS Outstanding Faculty in 2013.
