AAOPM pain management training in action
About Our Training

America's Premier Pain Management Training Institution

In 1996, a group of physicians saw a problem: talented healthcare professionals wanted to help patients with chronic pain, but quality interventional training was scarce. Most programs focused on theory with minimal hands-on practice. They founded AAOPM to change that.

Over the past 28 years, we've trained more than 100,000 physicians and healthcare professionals—many of whom now offer comprehensive pain management services in their practices. Our secret? We focus on practical, hands-on training with real-world applications. Every student gets the supervised practice time and personalized feedback they need to build real confidence.

"We don't just teach injection techniques—we teach you proper patient assessment, documentation, billing, and how to integrate pain management into your existing practice."

Our curriculum is developed by board-certified pain management specialists who still practice every day. You'll leave with comprehensive training manuals, injection protocols, and something most programs don't offer: billing and coding guidance to ensure proper reimbursement. Whether you join us in person at one of our 50+ locations or attend via livestream, you're getting the same rigorous, CME-accredited training that has made AAOPM the gold standard in pain management education.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of injection procedures are covered in pain management training?
AAOPM pain management courses cover a comprehensive range of injection procedures including joint injections (knee, shoulder, hip), trigger point injections, epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, sacroiliac joint injections, nerve blocks, and soft tissue injections for conditions like bursitis and tendinitis.
Do you offer ultrasound-guided injection training?

Our courses teach you how to use diagnostic ultrasound for precise needle placement in joint injections, nerve blocks, and soft tissue procedures. Ultrasound guidance improves accuracy and patient outcomes while reducing complications.
What is NCV/EMG training and who should take it?
NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity) and EMG (Electromyography) training teaches diagnostic procedures for evaluating nerve and muscle function. This training is ideal for physicians wanting to diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, radiculopathy, and peripheral neuropathy. It provides an additional revenue stream through insurance-reimbursable diagnostic testing.

Joint injections, nerve blocks, trigger point injections, and NCV/EMG diagnostic studies are typically reimbursable procedures with established CPT codes, making pain management an excellent addition to any practice.

AAOPM pain management courses are designed for licensed healthcare professionals including Physicians (MD/DO), Nurse Practitioners (NP), Physician Assistants (PA), Physiatrists, Anesthesiologists, Sports Medicine Physicians, and Chiropractors (where scope allows). Attendees must hold an active medical license in their respective field.
