Local Doctor of Chiropractic Promotes Cooperative Spine Care
Santa Monica, CA - Dr. Pamela Ramer, Doctor of Chiropractic of Santa Monica, CA has been accepted as a member of the American Academy of Spine Physicians (AASP). The AASP is an organization comprised of neurosurgeons and chiropractic physicians dedicated to improving the quality of spine care through cooperative and conservative efforts.

The primary mission of the AASP is to improve the quality of spine care by facilitating open dialogue, continuing education, clinical interaction between neurosurgeons and chiropractic physicians and by promoting a patient's right to be informed of therapeutic options. As a member of the organization, Dr. Ramer is dedicated to placing the needs of the patient first while promoting comprehensive and conservative spine care.

"Back pain is one of the most common disorders encountered in healthcare practice," commented Dr. Ramer "It ranks as one of the most frequent reasons for employee absenteeism and afflicts approximately eight of every ten Americans during their lifetime. The AASP is preparing its members to meet these growing concerns at all levels."

A cooperative interdisciplinary effort between chiropractic physicians and neurosurgeons promotes early detection, timely intervention and improved continuity of spine care. In addition, the unique alliance broadens the scope of preventative, rehabilitative and minimally invasive approaches thus reducing the impact of spine-related disability.
