Core Tip	The public healthcare system in Quebec, Canada, provides free services; however, patients with spinal pain face long waiting times for specialist appointments and limited physiotherapy coverage. Spinal interventions, including transforaminal epidural steroid injections for radicular pain, are performed quickly upon consultation with a pain specialist. In contrast, France's universal healthcare system emphasizes physical activity and offers free physiotherapy; however, certain interventions, such as epidural injections, are underutilized, potentially contributing to chronic pain. Each system has advantages and disadvantages. Understanding these differences can inform global spinal pain management strategies and enhance patient satisfaction and outcomes.
