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.
CCGI is delighted to have them on board and looks forward to collaborating with them to take the best practices forward in Canada.

Low Back Pain Care Pathway
Date of last update: November, 2024
Development and Evidence Selection
The pathway integrates guidance from guidelines evaluated through the AGREE II tool, systematic reviews assessed with AMSTAR, clinical textbooks, and curricula from accredited institutions.
-
Guideline and evidence selection: Treatment recommendations are based on broad literature searches to capture current guidelines. High-quality systematic reviews were used when guidelines were unavailable.
-
Consistent recommendations: Treatments reflect consistent recommendations across multiple guidelines and systematic reviews, demonstrating evidence of benefit or harm.
-
Inconsistent or unsupported recommendations: Conflicting or evolving recommendations are addressed in these notes to focus on well-supported, evidence-driven practice.
-
Knowledge user input: Input from clinical leaders, educators, and researchers, ensures practical alignment with current evidence.
-
Updates: This pathway is updated to reflect evolving evidence, with changes communicated through social media and other channels.
Search Strategy Overview
-
Primary sources: PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Guidelines International Network (GIN), and NICE guidelines were used to identify relevant guidelines and reviews.
-
Timeframe: Searches are limited to guidelines and reviews published within the last 10- 15 years to ensure recommendations reflect the most recent and clinically relevant evidence.
-
Search terms: Tailored to each care pathway topic, combining relevant conditions (e.g., "low back pain", "shoulder pain") with terms such as "guideline" or "systematic review".
-
Search limits: Only the top results were reviewed in each database to focus on relevant sources (e.g., first 50-100 results).
-
Manual additions: Contributions from knowledge user networks to ensure inclusion of important guidelines.
-
Documentation: Search terms, sources, and critical appraisals are documented for transparency.
