Joint / Extremity / Non-Spinal Injection Course - Houston, TX

Joint and Extremity Injection Training Course

This program is designed to complement our 3-Day Pain Management Workshop and Advanced Pain Management Workshop. The Joint Injection Course places a strong emphasis on Non-Spinal Injections such as knee, shoulder, elbow, hip, and ankle injections using palpatory methods, anatomical landmarks, and image guidance for needle localization. Additionally, soft tissue injections (trigger points) are covered, focusing on referred pain and patient testing to create a differential diagnosis of the pain.

The Joint/Extremity Injection Pain Management Training course also includes instruction on many other common modalities and procedures you can offer patients in your office, such as viscosupplementation, steroidal injections, and prolotherapy. The course also covers Botox injections for common conditions like bruxism, migraine headaches, and other spastic muscular conditions, as well as the use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for soft tissue correction and knee joint treatment.
