2025 Winter Spine Symposium

The 7th annual Winter Spine Symposium will be held March 7-9, 2025 in Mammoth Lakes, CA.

 Dr. Michael Dorsi and Dr. Patrick Buchanan will be the course directors. 

Dr. Pankaj Mehta  will be the Keynote Speaker

Our goal is to bring leaders from the fields of interventional pain management and spine surgery together with our industry partners to discuss best practices in stimulation for the treatment of pain.  This comprehensive course will consist of case-based, moderated discussions with active audience participation. 

 We come together to cross specialty and corporate boundaries and form new relationships to improve the care we can provide for patients. This is an open forum that encourages discussion focused on current options and emerging technologies for the management of patients suffering from painful conditions of the nervous system.
