Description

Step into the future of sports chiropractic at the California Chiropractic Association's (CalChiro) Sports Symposium 2026!

Join us May 1–2, 2026, at the stunning Paradise Point Resort & Spa for two action-packed days of learning from leading experts in sports, movement, rehab, and human performance.

This isn’t your typical conference—it’s an interactive, hands-on experience built for clinicians who want practical tools, fresh techniques, and real-world strategies they can put to work immediately. Connect with top practitioners, explore the latest rehab and sports products from premier vendors, and enjoy the kind of networking that feels more like a reunion than a meeting.

Earn up to 15 CE hours toward your DC license renewal, including in-person, interactive video conference, and distance learning options. CCSP® and DACBSP® attendees can also earn up to 15 in-person CEU credits.

Walk into your practice the following week with sharper skills, stronger confidence, and new ideas to improve patient outcomes right away. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the next evolution of sports chiropractic—see you in San Diego!
