Its great to look back at what happened in 2008 at Spine-Health. Some of the highlights were:

- Reaching over 10,000 Registered members. This was quite an amazing feat when you consider that back in July of 2007, there were only about 3,500 registered members.

- Migration to new Forum Software. This was a major change to the look and feel of the forums. We had some initial bugs that were addressed, fixed or workarounds provided by the Spine-Health team. We are always keeping an eye and ear for member concerns and looking for ways to make this forum seamless. Its our view that the members time should be spent on reading/writing posts and not having to worry how it should be done.

- Many new members. I believe the last count indicated that we have over 8,000 registered members. We are hoping that the member numbers will continue to grow.

New registered members should have received a detailed email and welcome message from our President and co-founder of Spine-Health, Stephanie Burke. From there members were
pointed to our always growing FAQ

I encourage members to review the FAQ to understand more about how the system works or even to identify items that we have not included.

I also believe that in 2009 we hope that our member community will explore all the features available on Spine-Health. To many members, Spine-Health is the Patient Forums. The forums are just the tip of an iceberg. The menu driven and easy to follow sections make Spine-Health a One Stop shopping center when it comes to Spinal conditions.
From reading about various spinal conditions, looking at detailed videos, understanding treatments and even help making sure you have the proper mattress and pillow.

We hope everyone has a safe 2009 and that it can be as pain free as possible for our members and others that have to deal with chronic Pain.
