Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The treatment of spinal disorders, including traumatic injuries, involves several phases, ranging from conservative therapies such as exercise, medication, injections, and corsets to surgery and post-operative rehabilitation. The progress has been remarkable, and new treatment methods have emerged in the past few years that have replaced standard treatments. Therefore, it is imperative to pay attention to the latest information and keep abreast of developments. In this Special Issue, we would like to invite a wide range of essential articles on treatments for which evidence has been obtained in the management of spinal diseases and trauma, as well as on new treatments for which evidence will be established in the future. This Special Issue will be useful in clinical practice for both specialists for spine and primary care physicians.
Dr. Kazuyuki Watanabe
