Research and Publications

Our publications reflect our commitment to innovation and patient care. Our publications provide valuable information on spine health, offer insights into treatment options that are simpler, cost-effective and patient-friendly, can yield results equal to traditional surgical methods. At the Spine Foundation, research is at the heart of our mission to advance the field of spine care. Our ongoing research efforts have not only deepened our understanding of spine conditions but have also directly translated into improved patient care. As we look to the future, the Spine Foundation remains committed to pushing the boundaries of spine care through continued research excellence.
