Study Updates

: 8 Sep 2026; 335 Participants!; We hit a big one - 335 participants strong! That's more than a third of the way to our goal of 1,000. We couldn't have gotten here without an incredible team and an even more incredible group of participants. Thank you for showing up, speaking up, and sticking with us!
Now let's keep the momentum going: if you're due for your 3-, 6-, or 12-month survey, this is your friendly nudge to get it done. Every response sharpens what we learn about treating chronic low back pain. Consider this a high five and a gentle poke, all in one.
On to the next third!
