The research area of the spine focuses on studying the structure, function, disorders, and treatment options related to the spinal column. This includes understanding the biomechanics of the spine, spinal cord injuries, degenerative conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis, and spinal deformities like scoliosis. Researchers in this field use a variety of techniques including imaging studies, biomechanical testing, and clinical trials to improve our understanding of spinal health and develop new treatments to address spine-related conditions. This research area is important for improving quality of life, reducing pain and disability, and enhancing overall spinal health.
