Funded Activity Summary

Low back pain affects one in four people in Australia and is responsible for over $8 billion spent on treatments and work loss every year. Surgery is a popular treatment approach for this multifactorial condition but we still lack high quality science to support the role of surgery for low back pain. We also lack research capacity in this field. In my fellowship, I propose to conduct high quality studies to generate and implement scientific knowledge in this field.
