The March, 2011 issue of the Lippincott BackLetter is headlined:
Standoff Over Spinal Fusion Surgery
Highlights the Poor Quality of Back Care in the United States.
It points out that "Spinal fusion has become a major industry in
U.S. Medicine, accounting for almost $9 billion in total revenue
in 2007" and that this surge in spinal fusions has been "out of
sync" with the scientific evidence regarding the "risks and
benefits of this form of surgery." With this in mind the
Burton Report is pleased to inform its readers that a medically
supervised
Phototherapy Center was was the focus of the November issue
of
M.D. News, is now located in downtown St. Paul,
Minnesota under the auspices of Sentinel Medical Associates.
Interested persons are invited to contact this center for
additional information.
