World Spine Care Canada and the Global Spine Care Initiative are pleased to recognize Dr. Melissa Atkinson-Graham  PhD, DC for her dedication to providing high-value spine care to the people in  Pimicikamak, Northern Manitoba, Canada.

A new research paper by World Spine Care and the Global Spine Care Initiative published in Implementation Science Communications describes the implementation of a spine care program for a First Nations community in Cross Lake, Manitoba, Canada.

This research project is supported by grants from Health Canada (SUAP), the Canadian Chiropractic Association, the Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation, and the Skoll Foundation. Two chiropractors have provided treatments for people with muscle and joint pain at no cost for the past year. In partnership with the community, the project will also develop a program to encourage movement based on traditional dance.

World Spine Care Canada announce a new Global Spine Care Initiative project to reduce barriers to conservative spine care and minimize opioid exposure in Indigenous communities.
