Musculoskeletal/Spine

Our research is dedicated to advancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of musculoskeletal and spinal disorders. We employ a multidisciplinary approach and conduct cutting-edge research aimed at improving patient outcomes and enhancing quality of life for individuals with musculoskeletal and spine conditions. We explore a wide range of topics, including:

  • Pain Management: We study new methods for managing chronic pain associated with musculoskeletal and spine disorders, evaluating pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and procedural approaches to enhance pain relief and improve patient well-being.
  • Spinal Health and Injury Prevention: Our research explores preventive strategies and interventions for spinal health, aiming to reduce the incidence of spinal injuries and enhance overall spinal function.
  • Patient-Centered Outcomes: Evaluating how musculoskeletal conditions impact patients' quality of life and developing personalized treatment plans to address individual needs and preferences.

Our research efforts are closely linked with clinical practice, ensuring that our findings translate into tangible benefits for patients. By fostering collaborations with other research institutions, industry partners, and healthcare providers, we aim to push the boundaries of rehabilitation medicine and contribute to better health outcomes for individuals worldwide.
