Educational review material only. This resource does not replace official AHPCSA requirements, regulations, examination information or primary academic resources.

CLINCAL SCIENCES AND DIAGNOSIS

Move from foundational knowledge to clinical assessment, differential diagnosis, and clinical reasoning.

BR-SA-02 Clinical Sciences and Diagnosis focuses on the evaluation of the chiropractic patient and the reasoning required to move from presenting complaint to an appropriate working diagnosis.

The emphasis is not simply on knowing examination procedures—it is on understanding which examination is appropriate, what the findings mean, and how those findings influence clinical decisions.


KEY AREAS INCLUDE

  • Patient history and clinical presentation
  • Physical examination
  • Orthopedic assessment
  • Neurological examination
  • Musculoskeletal evaluation
  • Differential diagnosis
  • Clinical reasoning
  • Diagnostic decision-making
  • Imaging considerations
  • Laboratory and diagnostic considerations
  • Red flags and patient safety
  • Referral and co-management considerations

Clinical concepts are integrated with case-based thinking so candidates can practice moving systematically through history → examination → findings → differential diagnosis → clinical decision.


EXAMINATION PREPARATION

Review material, clinical reasoning exercises, self-assessment activities, and examination-style questions reinforce high-yield concepts while encouraging application rather than rote memorization.


WHO IS IT FOR?

Designed for candidates preparing for South African chiropractic board or registration requirements, internationally trained chiropractors pursuing South African practice, and practitioners wanting a structured clinical assessment and diagnosis review.

BR-SA-02 bridges basic science knowledge and real-world clinical decision-making.

Independent educational preparation material. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any South African regulatory authority, examining body, chiropractic association, or educational institution. Candidates should verify current requirements with the appropriate official authorities.

CLINICAL PRACTICE AND PATIENT MANAGEMENT

Knowing the diagnosis is only part of clinical practice. The next question is: What should you do for the patient?

BR-SA-03 Clinical Practice and Patient Management focuses on translating assessment findings and clinical reasoning into safe, appropriate, evidence-informed patient management.


KEY AREAS INCLUDE

  • Developing appropriate management plans
  • Chiropractic management principles
  • Manual therapy and treatment considerations
  • Patient-centered care
  • Indications and contraindications
  • Patient safety and risk management
  • Exercise and rehabilitation considerations
  • Patient education and communication
  • Referral and co-management

  • Outcome assessment
  • Modifying management when the patient is not improving
  • Documentation and continuity of care

The guide emphasizes the complete clinical pathway:

Assess → Diagnose → Plan → Manage → Monitor → Reassess


CLINICAL APPLICATION

Case-based material encourages candidates to determine not only what could be done, but what is appropriate, safe, defensible, and clinically relevant for the individual patient.

Review questions and self-assessment activities reinforce management principles and help candidates identify areas requiring further study.


WHO IS IT FOR?

Ideal for candidates preparing for South African chiropractic registration or examination requirements and for clinicians seeking a structured review of practical patient-management principles.

BR-SA-03 connects clinical reasoning with responsible patient care—from the initial management plan through reassessment and outcomes.
