Why Podiatrists Are Adding Interventional Pain Procedures

Podiatrists are expanding their interventional capabilities to meet growing patient demand for non-surgical foot and ankle pain solutions.

  • Growing Patient Demand: Millions of Americans suffer from chronic foot and ankle pain. Patients increasingly seek non-surgical interventional solutions from their trusted podiatrist.
  • Treat Chronic Conditions: Plantar fasciitis, Morton's neuroma, ankle arthritis, and Achilles tendinopathy respond well to injection therapy and regenerative treatments.
  • Practice Diversification: Adding advanced injection procedures and regenerative medicine creates new revenue streams and differentiates your practice.
  • Strong Reimbursement: Foot and ankle injection procedures are well-reimbursed by Medicare and private insurers, with favorable CPT codes for joint injections and nerve blocks.
  • Regenerative Medicine: PRP and other regenerative techniques offer cutting-edge treatment options that can delay or prevent surgery for your patients.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about pain management training for podiatrists.

Podiatrists can learn a comprehensive range of foot and ankle pain procedures including ankle joint injections, subtalar joint injections, plantar fascia injections, Morton's neuroma blocks, tarsal tunnel injections, Achilles tendon treatments, metatarsophalangeal joint injections, and ultrasound-guided procedures. We also offer NCV/EMG training for diagnosing peripheral neuropathies and tarsal tunnel syndrome, plus regenerative medicine courses covering PRP for foot and ankle conditions.
All AAOPM courses are AAOPM certified. Additionally, select courses may award CPME (Council on Podiatric Medical Education) credits when applicable based on course requirements. Upon successful completion, you receive an AAOPM Certificate of Completion documenting your procedural training, which is valuable for credentialing and demonstrating competency to insurers.
Yes, AAOPM offers dedicated ultrasound-guided pain management training with extensive applications for foot and ankle procedures. Our courses teach you how to use diagnostic ultrasound for precise needle placement in ankle joints, plantar fascia, Morton's neuromas, tarsal tunnel, and soft tissue structures. Ultrasound guidance improves accuracy, reduces complications, and enhances patient outcomes—skills that are increasingly expected in modern podiatric practice.
Yes, our PRP and regenerative medicine courses are ideal for podiatrists looking to offer cutting-edge treatments for chronic foot and ankle conditions. PRP therapy is particularly effective for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, ankle arthritis, and other conditions that are often resistant to traditional treatments. Regenerative medicine represents a growing area of practice that can differentiate your clinic and provide patients with non-surgical alternatives.
Our courses combine didactic lectures covering anatomy, injection techniques, patient selection, and safety protocols with extensive hands-on training. Podiatrists practice procedures under direct supervision of expert faculty in small group settings, ensuring personalized attention and mastery of techniques. We emphasize lower extremity anatomy and applications relevant to podiatric practice. Courses range from 1-3 days depending on the program.
NCV/EMG testing is invaluable for podiatrists treating patients with neuropathic pain, tarsal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathies, and radiculopathies affecting the lower extremity. These diagnostic studies help you accurately diagnose nerve conditions, differentiate between conditions, and guide treatment decisions. Adding in-office NCV/EMG capabilities allows you to provide comprehensive diagnostic services without referring patients out, improving patient convenience and practice revenue.
