Hi Katie - I am new to the board too. Welcome! The folks here are incredible and amazing resource.
I am just starting this journey about getting to know more about the spine that I thought I would ever need to know. I wish I had known alot more over the past few years - so I would not have been so darn hard on my neck and lower back!
Take care.
Lisa
