The Global Spine Care Initiative (GSCI) has obtained funds for a project in Pimicikamak (Cross Lake First Nation), Manitoba, Canada. This announcement is made in collaboration between Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, the University of Manitoba, The Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation (CCRF), and the Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA).

A recent article in the journal PAIN provided an update on The Lancet Low Back Pain Series. The Global Spine Care Initiative was included in this list of attempts to develop better system-level and policy approaches to address low back pain.
