Hello everyone!

The Spine-Health.com team has been hard at work creating a better and simpler experience for all of our users. Since last year we've switched to newer and smarter technology that allows us to expand our content, speed up the site, and improve our navigation. To that end we're launching a series of new directories for our doctor-written, doctor-reviewed content, including our articles and videos.

First, we have launched an [url:204,type=|term|,content=|updated video directory|]. This directory divides our video content into categories. Our primary categories include:

A complete [url:966,type=|term|,content=|listing of our videos|]
[url:965,type=|term|,content=|Interactive Anatomy Videos|]
[url:982,type=|term|,content=|Videos On Pain Conditions|]
[url:976,type=|term|,content=|Videos on Back and Neck Surgery|]
[url:984,type=|term|,content=|Videos on Pain Treatment Options|]

We have also created a new directory for the main types of [url:1047,type=|term|,content=|back, neck, and spine surgery|] we cover. It includes (but is not limited to) the following:

A full listing [url:165,type=|term|,content=|of our back surgery articles|]
[url:1320,type=|term|,content=|Decompression Surgery|]
[url:1007,type=|term|,content=|Spinal Fusion|]
[url:1132,type=|term|,content=|Instrumentation|]
[url:1040,type=|term|,content=|Kyphoplasty|]
[url:1049,type=|term|,content=|Laminectomy|]
[url:1118,type=|term|,content=|Lumbar Spine Surgery|]
[url:1056,type=|term|,content=|Minimally Invasive Surgery|]
[url:1123,type=|term|,content=|Neck Surgery|]
[url:1130,type=|term|,content=|Spine Surgeons|]
[url:1167,type=|term|,content=|Surgery Recovery/Postoperative Care|]
[url:1064,type=|term|,content=|Vertebroplasty|]

In the coming days and weeks, we will be adding many more directories to Spine-Health.com to make it easier to find the content you are searching for, or to make browsing the vast, 2000+ pieces of doctor-written content that we have on our site an easier process.

So watch out for new content, new features, and new updates every week on the Spine-Health.com Blog (we've also updated our blog interface) and the Spine-Health.com Pain Forums and Message Boards.

If you have questions, issues, or suggestions about the site's content, interface, layout, or message boards, you are welcome to email me at bparr@spine-health.com
