We find that the information presented by nonphysicians offered quick, at-home fixes to medical problems without offering any research or proven data to support their claims. We cannot overlook Tiktok's immense influence in the realm of orthopaedic health as it has become a sphere of information dissemination and education. Thus, we suggest that there is not necessarily a need for a greater number of surgeons and/or resident physicians to involve themselves on the platform, but rather the involvement of governing bodies and spine societies to put out position statements for our patients.
