The Lumbar Spine Research Society (LSRS) is a non-profit medical society founded in 2007 dedicated to the free exchange of scientific information on lumbar spine disorders, emphasizing academic research free from commercial bias. It promotes research into lumbar disease pathology, treatment, and patient care through annual meetings, grants, and educational webinars, often in collaboration with institutions involved in spine care. The LSRS is a remote organization with two yearly in person meetings in May and October.

The Annual Meeting is a 1.5 day conference that includes lecture, discussion, Q&A, and scientific presentations. Attendees range from experienced orthopedic and neurological spine surgeons, to nurse practitioners, physician assistants, fellows, residents, and medical students. The focus of the meeting is to discuss and share information on spine surgery technique and research via many modes of learning.
