SPINA – Register and Track your spinal rehabilitation progress

If you are over 18 and experiencing neck, mid/upper back, or lower back pain, we invite you to join SPINA – a spinal rehabilitation registry helping to improve care for people with spinal pain like you!

Joining SPINA will enable you to:

• Track your health and recovery over time
• Access and own your health data
• Contribute to our research that improves outcomes for people with spinal pain

Why join SPINA?

SPINA

	Your completed SPINA surveys will be available to download for your personal records or to discuss with your healthcare provider. You can also interact with your SPINA Synopsis to track your health over time. SPINA Synopsis tracks changes in key areas including sleep, physical functioning, pain, quality of life, and mood.
	Globally, musculoskeletal spinal problems are the leading cause of pain, disability and need for effective rehabilitation. By joining SPINA, you will contribute important information required for researchers and physiotherapists to improve patient care and outcomes for musculoskeletal spinal problems.
	When registering with SPINA, you can give permission to be contacted about additional opportunities to participate in research studies. Through these studies, you will engage with international research to advance our knowledge of musculoskeletal spinal problems and treatments.

This will involve entering your details, signing an online consent form, and completing a survey regarding your spinal pain – it is free to use. After completing the survey, you will be able to save a copy for your information. Please feel free to bring the completed survey, either saved electronically or printed, to your appointment to facilitate discussions with your physiotherapist – this is completely optional.

We look forward to meeting you at your physiotherapy appointment!
