WE’RE SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE
Someone may have told you to visit this site, or you were directed here by social media. You have come to the right place to learn what this #TalkTurkeyAboutLowBackPain stuff is all about!
Did you know that around 80% of people deal with low back pain at some point? It’s also the number one cause of disability in the world. This Thanksgiving let’s show our gratitude by connecting with our loved ones to talk about how to prevent low back pain or better understand the treatment options that can make a difference.
Instead of talking about politics around the Thanksgiving dinner table this year, the Pain Collaborative invites everyone to join “Talk Turkey” about low back pain. It is time to clear up common myths and learn the realities.
