Who we are
Spine Research consists of researchers, research support staff and PhD students.
Our overall aim is to improve the quality of life of people with back pain.
We conduct research that is closely linked to clinical practice. This means that our projects:
- Arise from an issue or question that we encounter in our clinical practice
- Are based on data collected from patients at the Spine Centre
- Aim to support the Spine Centre’s ongoing efforts to ensure the highest possible quality of assessment and treatment
- Can contribute to health policy agendas within our field
Our research areas within the field of spine research are:
- Rehabilitation
- Labour market participation
- Diagnostic imaging
- Children and young people
- Specific diagnoses
- Care pathways and use of healthcare services
- Pain
- Self-management
- Health inequalities
