I had a C&P exam for Lumbosacral Strain. I think I may have been in an out in less than 5 minutes. Here is how the appointment went in order.
1. I go in the doctors office and he says to me "tell me about your back"
2. I explain the issues about my back and how my recent flare up lasted almost three months. It was so bad that my wife had to assist me with getting dressed and that I could not even put on my own sock or tie my shoes. I tell the doctor I cannot recall the last time I had a day without any back pain.
3. He has me stand up and bend over from the waist three times. He does not like how far I bent and asks me to bend more and I tell him it hurts to do so. He did not take a measurement with a goniometer
4. He has me lean three times too the right side and three times from the left side.
6. He has me rotate 3 times
7. He copies and pastes a few things on his computer. I could not see what it was but I can say this much he barely typed any words.
8. End of appointment.
My appointment was at 1:00 I was back in my car at 1:15. I looked at the clock. This was at the Houston Regional VA Office.

That is the SOP for doing a C&P Spine, except for the lack of goniometer. I went through the same thing, except I couldn't stand on one leg. And if you have spinal scoliosis its automatically 20%.
