Integrative Pain Management Training in Injections for Joints and Soft Tissues including Tendonopathies and other Sub-Acute Conditions.

It is all too common that primary care physicians and other specialists come across patients suffering from very painful joint and extremity conditions. The brunt of these conditions can be treated easily, in-office, and are easy for physicians to learn and perform. The risk associated with these treatments is minimal, and are often rewarding to both your patients and your practice.

Objectives for Joint / Extremities Non-Spinal Injections Training

Upon the successful completion of the Interventional Pain Injection Course for Joint / Extremities, and Non-Spinal class, attendees should be able to perform the following:

  • Evaluate patient conditions, perform functional testing, and review image studies to formulate an initial diagnosis and workup for patients. Identify and communicate results for acute, sub-acute, and chronic pain conditions and discuss treatment options with patients.
  • Observe and perform safely small, medium, and large bursa injections for patients suffering from joint pain indications including HA viscosupplementation for arthritis of the shoulder and knee.
  • Observe and perform safely soft tissue injections (trigger points) for various tendinopathies and pain conditions including referred pain injection points and the prolotherapy (proliferation therapy) injections.
  • Learn the various techniques and injection approaches for a variety of the most common pain pathologies that can be treated with injection therapies (i.e. Golfer’s Elbow, Tennis Elbow, Plantar Fasciitis, Carpal Tunnel, and Bursitis for knee, shoulder, foot, and hip).
  • Gain a full understanding of the guidelines and requirements in performing interventional pain management injections including review of ICD-10(s) and CPT Coding of the procedures as well as “cash basis” services for PRP, amniotic products, and other biologics.

DISCLAIMER: The following is a summary of the course agenda. The full course agenda will be emailed to you a few days prior to the course. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact our office.

The AAOPM Non-Spinal Injection course reviews in detail trigger point injections, large and small bursa injections as well as specific pain pathologies you will encounter in a practice setting. You will receive protocols, injection diagrams, and review all medications used for the procedures. The course focuses on the “palpatory” approach to the injection therapies and the use of anatomical models for placement. We review in detail all standard of care considerations, billing and coding, and follow-up care needed. Diagnostic injections and functional tests are taught to confirm certain pain pathologies. The hands-on workshop is taught by Board-Certified Physicians who have years of experience in Pain Management and will teach you the “pearls” associated with the injections as well as expectations from administration of the procedures.

Our goal is for you to be successful!

In addition to learning the ins and outs of the procedures themselves, we also provide lessons in procedure pricing and marketing strategies to ensure financial success. These tools have been field tested and implemented in our own practices. Again, the goal is for you to leave the workshop confident in the procedure itself, but also confident that this will be a lucrative opportunity for your practice.
