Mission Statement

The International Spine Intervention Society (ISIS) is an association of physicians whose motivation is the development, study of efficacy, and implementation of percutaneous techniques for the precise diagnosis and treatment of spine pain. This allows the establishment of procedural and practice principles. By fostering a forum for the exchange of ideas, the society consolidates advancements in the field, identifies and resolves controversies, and recommends guidelines based on scientific data. These goals converge to enhance the quality of life for patients suffering with spine pain.

ISIS educates physicians in appropriate methodology to treat spine pain, including precision diagnostic and therapeutic spine intervention procedures. By means of highly qualified instructors, its courses employ informative lectures and presentations, coupled with fluoroscopically guided percutaneous spine procedures, to inform, instruct, and tutor physicians.

Physicians involved represent multiple specialties including: anesthesiology; physical medicine and rehabilitation; radiology; neurology; orthopedic surgery; among others. All are board certified physicians who seek state of the art information.

Educational activities include hands-on cadaver workshops, didactic courses, annual meetings, and practice management tutorials. All are structured to allow an exchange of ideas, interaction with faculty, extension of training, and a means for cost-effective management of patients.

ISIS is the first organization of its type, with more than a decade of experience conducting objective, unbiased, and ethically motivated educational programs. Participating physicians develop a clear understanding of the skills and training necessary to perform interventional spine procedures.
