IPSIS membership pays off at the bookshelf. The 4-volume IPSIS Technical Manual is back in stock and shipping and members pay only 50% of the non-member price, while in-training and many non-US members pay under 20% of the standard rate. Built for real-world clinical use, it delivers detailed procedural descriptions, high-resolution illustrations, step-by-step guidance, and practical tips for avoiding pitfalls like aberrant epidural flow and tricky facet needle positioning. Choose the print edition, eBooks, or a bundle — and make the most of your member discount on this limited second print run. www.IPSISmed.org/TechManual

Initiating non-surgical combination therapies while patients wait for surgery may delay — or even reduce the need for invasive procedures. That’s the key takeaway from the pragmatic RCT reviewed in the latest IPSIS members-only Research Spotlight by Taylor Burnham, DO, MSc, and Ragav Sharma, DO. Access to this kind of practice-shaping analysis is why interventional pain physicians join and maintain IPSIS membership. If it’s time to renew, now’s the moment. Don’t settle for headlines when you can get expert interpretation. www.IPSISmed.org/news/716370
