The colloquial
phrase “A pain in the back” does little to
capture the debilitating potential of spine disease. One
in four Americans will suffer from chronic back pain defined
as severe and lasting more than three months. Work days
are lost, family time is inhibited and everyday chores
and activities become insurmountable.
Breakthroughs in spine treatments promise a wider range
of new and more effective surgical and nonsurgical choices.
Helping healthcare professionals treat sufferers of back
pain is an important and life altering mission of the
National Spine Foundation. Your donations will directly
assist in the following activities:
• Building the only facility in Florida dedicated
to teaching physicians new surgical techniques for the
spine, such as minimally invasive surgery and the use
of robotics in spine surgery.
• Educating all healthcare professionals involved
in treatment teams on the availability of new alternatives
for curing spine diseases.
• Teaching those who suffer from back and neck pain
how to prevent further damage to their spine, to ask informed
questions about their treatments, and which surgical and
nonsurgical procedures may be most appropriate for them.
• Sponsoring research that advances our knowledge
of the effectiveness and appropriateness of the latest
techniques for treating spine disease.
• Helping the next generation cure back pain through
scholarships and summer camp programs that encourage and
support young people’s interest in pursuing careers
in healthcare.
Your support helps the many individuals and their families
who suffer from chronic, debilitating back pain.
