Thank you all so much for listening to the Spine & Nerve podcast in 2019. We started this podcast to provide another option for both patients and healthcare practitioners to learn more about musculoskeletal medicine and pain medicine.

Drs. Raman Gurai, Nicolas Karvelas and Brian Joves have had a great time educating about various diagnoses and treatment options, diving deep into the medical literature, and sharing their experience treating these challenging pathologies.

As the decade comes to an end, we believe that just as the 2000s have gone down in history as the decade of pain... The 2010s will be remembered for two main themes: fighting and reversing the opioid epidemic, and the rise of technology in pain medicine. We have addressed both of these topics at length (please refer to our previous episodes:

We are humbled by the response we have received from you, our listeners. We are so grateful that you have taken the time to listen, engage with us, and share the podcast with your friends, colleagues, and patients.

Our most listened to podcast of the year was our introduction to spinal stenosis, and we have chosen to rebroadcast that episode to wrap 2019. Wishing you all a very happy new year and looking forward to continue bringing you value with education and information on all things musculoskeletal, spine, orthobiologic and pain medicine!
