Professor Dr. Ricardo Ruiz-López has been awarded the prestigious “Founding Father Award” during the recent congress of the Latin American Pain Society (LAPS), one of the most important scientific forums worldwide in the field of pain medicine.

This award, one of the highest honors in our specialty, recognizes his exceptional career as a pioneer and founding figure in the development and teaching of pain medicine globally.

During the congress, Dr. Ruiz-López was invited as the main speaker, where he shared the advances of our methodology in two crucial areas that define our clinical practice:

  1. Maximum Safety in Spinal Surgery: Through his presentation “Spinal Complications: How to prevent them”, he explained the ultra-precision protocols that we apply to guarantee maximum patient safety, a fundamental pillar of our philosophy.
  2. Cutting-edge Regenerative Medicine: Her main talk, “Clinical Advances on Culturing and Cryopreservation of MSCs from Autologous Adipose Tissue”, addressed the latest advances in the cultivation and use of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), the basis of our revolutionary Regenerative Surgery.

This international recognition not only honors Dr. Ruiz-López’s career, but also reaffirms the commitment of the entire Clínica Vértebra team to excellence, innovation, and the application of the most advanced science in service to our patients.
