CCGI Best Practice Collaborators
In April 2016, CCGI Opinion Leaders were joined by a new team of CCGI Best Practice Collaborators. These are influential evidence-informed clinicians recently nominated by their colleagues in a nationwide survey. They are assisting Opinion Leaders in their area with reaching out to other chiropractors and teaching them about critical thinking, proper interpretation of evidence-informed clinical practice guidelines, and evidence-informed practice in general.

Rehabilitation after Lumbar Spine Surgery
Date of last update: January, 2025
7. Physical Examination
Overview: A comprehensive physical examination considers the biopsychosocial aspects of a patient’s condition, cultural sensitivity, informed consent, and the patient’s overall comfort. The selection and scope of assessments should be tailored to the individual clinical encounter, with a focus on increasing confidence in primary diagnostic considerations and refining differential diagnoses. This section provides an inventory of assessments rather than a prescriptive algorithm, allowing clinicians to choose appropriate measures based on the unique presentation and needs of each patient.
Post-surgical assessments should appraise the patient’s functional status, lead to an understanding of co-morbid conditions, and help in differentiating other mechanisms of low back pain.
Imaging:
Surveillance and management of post-surgical patients is often a multidisciplinary endeavor. Interdisciplinary communication and reporting are paramount for efficient coordination of care. Requisition of records and reports, with patient consent, will inform clinical decision making and management strategies.
