PSC Chiropractic MCQ Textbook — Volume 2: Philosophy, Assessment and Technique

1,232 Multiple-Choice Questions with Explanations

Know the material, not the pattern.

The PSC Chiropractic MCQ Textbook turns the core PCC PRESS curriculum into 1,232 original multiple-choice questions. Each question has four options and one best answer. The questions follow the chapter order of the source textbooks, so the book works alongside each course or as one complete review before examinations.

Inside Volume 2

• Part One: Chiropractic Philosophy. Questions 1–444, a chapter-by-chapter study of From Source to Periphery, the contemporary study of R. W. Stephenson’s 1927 Chiropractic Textbook. Topics include the major premise, the normal complete cycle, intellectual adaptation, and the vertebral subluxation. Historical claims are kept separate from modern understanding throughout.
• Part Two: Biomechanical and Neurological Assessment and Full Spine Evaluation. Questions 445–928, covering:
• the disc-centred model of subluxation
• pelvic, sacral, lumbar, thoracic, cervical, atlas and occipital listing systems
• radiographic line analysis, motion palpation and instrumentation
• the bulbo-reticular facilitatory–inhibitory model
• the functional leg-length and functional cranial assessment systems, with a clear statement of what is established and what remains a clinical model
• Part Three: Full Spine Adjustive Technique. Questions 929–1,232, in three sections:
• FVCT (Full Vertebral Compression Technique): the full spine system of Clarence S. Gonstead.
• FIA: the low-force, instrument-assisted isolation-testing system.
• FSDT (Full Spine Drop Table Technique): the terminal-point drop system of J. Clay Thompson.

Designed for real learning

• Explanations with every answer. Each answer gives the correct option, a concise explanation, and the source book, chapter, page and section. You can go straight back to the passage you need.
• Answers kept apart from questions. In print, the answers are on the back of each question page. In the ebook, each question links to its answer and back.
• Balanced answer key. Answer positions were assigned independently of content and audited for an even A–D spread. No sequence patterns can be learned instead of the material.
• Plausible distractors. Wrong options are written to test real understanding, not to give away the answer by their length or wording.
• Clinically responsible framing. Screening, contraindications and referral criteria are tested alongside technique.
