Welcome to the web page of III BULGARIAN VERTEBROLOGY CONFERENCE and VII SPINE SURGERY CONFERENCE.
Given our good partnership relations with the Bulgarian Association of Spine Surgery, it was decided to held the both conferences together once again. The dates will be January 30th - February 1st, 2026, and the venue will be at the Atmosphere hotel in Pavel Banya
After the huge success we have with the II VERTEBROLOGY CONFERENCE in January 2025, we continue in this direction with the organization of a first class multi-discipline and international scientific event. The
The ever-increasing incidence of vertebrogenic diseases in our time has obliges us to get together again a wide range of medical specialists in the country and abroad - physiotherapists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, orthopedists, radiologists, rheumatologists, dentist physicians, rehabilitators and others, to exchange and summarize our knowledge from the various medical disciplines that we need in our daily healing activity.
