Given the substantial limitations of steroids, our efforts would be better served focusing on treatments that have an actual benefit to cord injured patients. #cervicalspineresearchsociety #CSRS #cervicalspine #spineresearch #spinesurgery #annualmeetingprogram #spinedisease #spinetreatment #Steroid #spinalcordinjury #DrAlpeshPatel #AlpeshPatelMD The Cervical Spine Research Society® is a multidisciplinary organization of individuals interested in clinical and research problems of the cervical spine.
