CCGPP releases upper extremity chapter
The Council on Chiropractic Guidelines and Practice Parameters (CCGPP) will post the evidence synthesis on “Chiropractic Management of Upper Extremity Pain– Draft” for review and commentary Oct. 10.
The upper extremity chapter was written by CCGPP Commission member Thomas Souza, DC, and his team. It is the third chapter to be released in the ongoing best practices initiative of the CCGPP, as commissioned by its founding organizations.
This latest chapter utilizes the improved format developed by the commission to make the information more user-friendly for the profession; however, it should be noted this chapter represents only the literature synthesis. Future projects are planned to translate this evidence into useful information for the DC practice to be published in its final form as the Clinical Chiropractic Compass.
The 60-day comment period on this upper extremity chapter draft begins Oct. 10 and ends Dec. 10. Comments should be submitted in an electronic format to ccgpp@sc.rr.com and include a discussion of the conclusions, submission of additional literature for review, and editorial suggestions.
