Primary Care Physicians get very little training in how to deal with chronic spinal injury. To help educate PCP's, SIF sponsors a "Pain Journal Update".

At the heart of the program are passionate patients. Let's face it, in our overloaded information society, PCP's are often educated by patients bringing in the latest development from the newspaper or TV news.

SIF supplies to patients a short format educational flyer known as "Pain Journal Update". This flyer allows patients to keep their PCP's current on the latest treatments and studies in this area. To download the latest flyer, click on the link below. The goal is to share this information with as many PCP's as possible.
