Pain management skills open doors to diverse practice settings beyond the ED—urgent care, outpatient clinics, or dedicated pain practices with better work-life balance.

3+ career path options

Procedures You Can Perform

  • Joint injections (all major joints)
  • Trigger point injections
  • Peripheral nerve blocks
  • Ultrasound-guided procedures

Diagnostic Services

Add NCV/EMG diagnostic testing to identify nerve damage, radiculopathies, and neuromuscular disorders. These diagnostic capabilities are valuable in urgent care and outpatient settings, creating additional revenue streams and improving diagnostic accuracy.

Getting Started
