Work-disabling back pain in working aged adults.

Maybe everyone needs to attend the SIS Evidence Based Spine Intervention Society Workshop next month and brush up on their science...it could probably settle these debates once and for all. I think that the 9:50AM on Sunday January 17th "Why the literature lies to you" is being given by Roger Chou.

The Evidence-Based Spine Interventions Seminar is only 6 weeks away! This Seminar offers sessions presented exclusively by the Spine Intervention Society’s Board of Directors, many of whom have been instrumental in pioneering the procedures and building the evidence base. The agenda, created by top interventionalists, offers sessions designed to educate our attendees about the latest developments in techniques, advocacy, emerging technology, and more.
