International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine

The motivation behind the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine , a non-benefit association established in 1974, is to unite those people all through the world, who, by their commitments and exercises both in the zone of examination and clinical study, have, or are demonstrating enthusiasm for the lumbar spine in wellbeing and in illness. Its further reason for existing is to serve as a gathering for the trading of data of both an investigative and clinical nature which identifies with low back torment and incapacity. The International Society for Study of the Lumbar Spine started as the seed of a thought conceived in the psyche of Harry Farfan of Canada while he was going to the Fifth Combined Orthopaedic Meeting being held in Sydney Australia in April of 1970. Farfan was an individual from the personnel and his presentation, a painstakingly created treatise on "The Mechanical Instability of the Lumbar Spine in Torsion" mirrored his numerous years of request and study on compressional and rotational impacts coordinated to the lumbar spine.
