Advanced Ultrasound-Guided Musculoskeletal Pain Procedures

In this workshop participants online learn to perform ultrasound‑guided injections for common musculoskeletal pain generators, including shoulder subacromial space, lumbar facet joints, hip trochanteric bursa, and peripheral nerve blocks. The curriculum emphasizes sterile technique, image optimization, needle visualization, and safe medication delivery. Attendees review relevant anatomy and pathology while observing live scanning demonstrations that illustrate probe orientation and target identification. The goal is to translate imaging skills into reproducible, patient‑centered procedures that reduce reliance on blind techniques.

On November 9, 2026 the day begins with a brief review of ultrasound physics followed by case‑based lectures that link imaging findings to therapeutic decision making. After the didactic portion, participants move to the hands‑on lab where they practice scanning models under faculty supervision. Each clinician performs at least two guided injections using a standardized phantom, receiving real‑time feedback on needle trajectory and tissue engagement. The session concludes with a group discussion of complications, documentation, and billing considerations. All participants receive a digital library of scanned cases for future reference.

The workshop is hosted at the live online classroom online and is designed for physicians, physiatrists, sports medicine doctors, and advanced practice providers who routinely manage chronic pain. It is most beneficial for clinicians who already perform basic joint injections and seek to add ultrasound guidance to improve accuracy. Participants leave with a set of image‑guided techniques that can be incorporated into outpatient practice. Registration includes all educational materials and access to post‑course reference images.
