Your Call: How did treating back pain turn into such big business?

  

On the next Your Call, we’ll have a conversation with Cathryn Jakobson Ramin, author of “Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry and Getting on the Road to Recovery.” Ramin is a veteran journalist whose own struggles with back pain and related treatments led her to pull back the curtain on the darker sides of spine medicine. If you’re a patient or a provider dealing with back pain, what insights do you have?  Join the conversation on the next Your Call at 10am, with Renee Kemp and you.

 
Guests: 

Cathryn Jakobson Ramin, Investigative journalist and author of “Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry and Getting on the Road to Recovery”
