Web Health Awards has given its 2012 Gold Award to Spine-Health.com, a Veritas Health LLC company, for providing the best digital health resources on the web. “We are delighted to have been chosen out of over 600 competing websites for this award, primarily based on the quality and accessibility of our patient-friendly, peer-reviewed spinal health content, ” said Veritas Health’s President, Sylvia Marten.

Spine-Health.com is the largest, patient education website dedicated to back and neck pain, according to company officials. The firm has on file 65, 000 pages of peer-reviewed articles plus videos and the site hosts 21 million visitors annually. Patients seek out the site to learn about spine pain they may be experiencing as well to gather information about surgical and nonsurgical options.

By using Spine-Health’s Spine Center and Spine Physician Locator Tools visitors to the site can connect with qualified spine experts, including spine practices, hospitals and individual spine physicians in their area.

Marten notes that, “Spinal health as a category has grown in recent years in part due to an aging population and lifestyle factors.” She says that the company’s mission continues to be to connect as many spine patients as possible with the best content, physicians and other tools they need to make the right decisions about their spinal care. “Recognition from awards like this helps us get the word out and help even more spine patients find the care they need to reduce their pain and dysfunction, ” she said.

This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?

Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.

We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
