INTRODUCTION

REVIEWS
Great app !
I have had this app for 4 days and have already used it twenty times to demonstrate various spinal pathologies and anatomical details to patients. It works quickly and the animations are crisp and detailed. As a chiropractor I would not hesitate to recommend this app to all my colleagues in the spinal care specialities as a wonderful alternative to pointing to a chart on the wall. Patients love it! Bakdoc1980 USA

Great app !
One of the doctors in our pratice has been using this on his iPhone for awhile. It’s great to show patients what’s going on. The larger screen on the iPad makes it even better. ChrisCub USA

iSpineCare
‘I have played with this app and found it very useful for any professional involved in spine care. The animations are first class and importantly anatomically accurate. I am a spine surgeon and can demonstrate various pathologies to patients on my iphone. This is a very useful application for physical therapists, physiatrists, pain physicians and spine surgeons. This would also suit nurses and PAs involved in spine care and patients as well. The speed of loading is good and there are a plethora of animations. Overall, for the right user group the cost is justifiable given the paucity of material that’s out there. Well done! +++++’ renodoc USA

Thanks
Very practical Artayeb France
