Application of utilizing MSK ultrasound technologies for advanced injections.

Advanced Musculoskeletal ultrasound

Advanced MSK Ultrasound

The advancements in ultrasound technologies allow for intervention pain management injections to be more precise than traditional blind injection techniques. Empire Medical Training’s Advance Musculoskeletal U.S. Guided Injection workshop expands upon the introductory course and 3-Day Pain Management Course in the application of utilizing MSK ultrasound technologies for advanced injections.

The Advanced Interventional Pain sonography course is very specific as to the indications for treatment resulting from sub-acute and chronic pain conditions and the ability to utilize ultrasound for image guidance to perform various nerve blocks and anesthesia options. 

The program is designed for Practitioners who wish to be able to expand their pain management options and learn the “pearls” associated with the injection but also the indications for treatment, pertinent anatomy, needle placement, and patient positioning for injections.

Success Stories

Witness the inspiring firsthand accounts from Empire students, demonstrating that with unwavering determination, success is not only achievable but inevitable.

Special to the course are detailed protocols for pre-injection, injection techniques, innervation as well as utilizing blind injection techniques when applicable.  The evidence-based course is complete and utilizes videos of many of the procedures as well as “standard of care” considerations in diagnosing different pain conditions and the various therapeutic options available to the physician.

Empire Medical Training’s faculty instructor for the Empire Advanced Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Guided Injection Therapies course is David Rosenbloom, MD who is the Director of Pain at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY and has over (17) years of experience in Interventional Pain Management Procedures.

    • Achilles Tendon Injections
      • Peroneal Tendinitis
      • Compressed Tibial Nerve
    • Plantar Fasciitis
    • Biceps Tendon Injection
    • Genicular Nerve Block
    • Saphenous Nerve Block
    • Intercostal Nerve Block
      • Neurolysis Options
    • Paravertebral Nerve Block
      • Epidural, site locations and multiple symptoms (i.e. MFR)
    • Occipital Nerve Blocks
      • Occipital Headache
    • Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block
      • Multiple Applications (i.e. Zoster, Migraine and Cluster Headaches, CRPS)
    • Supraorbital Nerve Block

In addition to these common types of interventional pain procedures utilizing ultrasound the course includes ASIPP Guidelines for the use of P-PRP plasma injections and L-PRP (PRF) and reviews current regulations, grading of results, and numerous evidence-based studies for:

  • Biologics (PRP and MSC) for lumbar discogenic pain- Level 3
  • PRP for Lumbar Facet pain- Level 4
  • PRP for Lower back pain and lower extremity in the Epidural Space- Level 4
  • PRP in the Sacroiliac joint- Level 4

Billing and Coding for all procedures are discussed as well as the “pearls” associated with the procedures including areas of adherence, contraindications for treatment, and the management of possible post-procedure adverse events or complications. Limited hands-on training is utilized to be able to simulate the procedures discussed and improve injection and ultrasound techniques.

Whether you are looking to expand your present interventional pain procedures or are planning to utilize some or all of the procedures listed this course will prepare you to further your knowledge for a number of pain conditions and increased standard of care for patients.
