The Spinal Research Foundation has
identified the need for spinal research to determine the specific pain sources
causing disabling
pain as well as the optimal treatment of these conditions. Cutting edge research
is needed as is evident by the increasing number of Americans impaired by
severe neck and or back pain.
The need for cutting edge research is evident
by the increasing number of Americans impaired by severe neck and/or back
pain.
There is an epidemic of chronic pain
and disability which impacts more
than the individual. The trickle down phenomena removes people from work
the force,
eliminates effective parenting, and disrupts family life. The economic stability
of the household and the tax base for our society are affected as well.
Identifying
the solution to chronic pain is essential to eliminating this epidemic and
preventing the further impairment of those who suffer.
The future success
of the research depends largely on funding from private sources.
The Spinal Research Foundation strives to work
freely, without influence from entities who would profit from the advances
created with the new information.
