22 Oct 2025, 21:01In South Africa, chiropractors are able to refer patients for blood tests and other lab work, but they cannot perform the tests or analyze the results themselves. Like other diagnostic tools such as X-rays, blood tests are used to assist the chiropractor in confirming or ruling out a diagnosis and to help determine if the condition is suitable for chiropractic care.
While the specific tests ordered depend on the patient's condition and history, a chiropractor in South Africa may request a blood test for reasons such as:
- Investigating underlying conditions: To determine if inflammation or autoimmune issues are contributing to musculoskeletal problems.
- Ruling out other pathologies: A chiropractor may order tests to confirm that a patient's symptoms are not caused by a condition outside the scope of chiropractic care.
- Assessing nutritional deficiencies: The results can help identify if vitamin or mineral deficiencies are a factor in the patient's symptoms.
- Referring to another practitioner: The blood test results may indicate the need for a referral to a different healthcare provider or specialist.
Common blood tests requested by chiropractors
Based on common practice and clinical relevance to musculoskeletal issues, chiropractors may refer for the following types of blood tests:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Screens for a variety of conditions, including anemia, infection, and inflammation.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): Provides a broad look at organ function, including the kidneys and liver, as well as electrolyte and blood sugar levels.
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP): These are indicators of inflammation in the body.
- Vitamin D and B12 Levels: Deficiencies in these vitamins can contribute to muscle and nerve symptoms.
- Thyroid Panel: The thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test can help rule out thyroid-related fatigue and weakness.
- Blood Sugar Tests: Random or fasting glucose, as well as HbA1c, can screen for diabetes and other blood sugar issues.
The referral process in South Africa
- Chiropractor's assessment: After a thorough consultation and physical exam, your chiropractor will determine if blood work is necessary for a more accurate diagnosis.
- Lab request form: Your chiropractor will provide you with a referral form listing the required tests. They will often refer you to a reputable pathology lab like PathCare or Ampath.
- Lab visit: You will take the request form to a lab collection depot.
- Results and interpretation: The lab will send the results to your chiropractor, who will then discuss the findings with you during a follow-up appointment. The results will guide your chiropractor's treatment plan or inform the need for a specialist referral.
