Spinal diseases have affected a large proportion of the Brazilian population, causing expensive public health costs. The worrying thing is that many people are unaware of their causes, complications, treatment and preventative measures, which can aggravate or even lead to the early development of degenerative diseases. With this in mind, we believe that guidance through scientific exposure can reach a population that lacks this knowledge. In addition, we believe it is important to carry out assessments of visitors' level of knowledge, as this is a way of qualifying the needs of the Brazilian population when it comes to the spine. Finally, step-by-step explanations of how a scientific exhibition is put together can encourage other professionals to take the initiative, thus disseminating knowledge.
