2-Day Cadaveric Ultrasound-Guided Spinal Injections Course

Key features

  • Highly practical and intensive: A focused two-day course combining comprehensive theory and hands-on cadaveric training.
  • Excellent delegate-to-cadaver ratio: Plenty of time to practise with high-quality cadavers.
  • High-specification equipment: Training on high specification ultrasound machines for optimal learning.
  • Small group teaching: One tutor per four delegates ensures close supervision and tailored feedback.
  • Exclusive online resources: Access to detailed videos, images, and presentations covering all procedures taught on the course.

This unique two-day course is ideal for doctors who are new to ultrasound-guided spinal injections or those looking to improve their current skills and expand their injection repertoire. It provides essential knowledge and techniques on Day 1, followed by hands-on practice in a cadaveric lab on Day 2—offering the perfect learning experience to build yoour confidence, skills and expertise.

Day 1: Foundations and Skill Development

The first day, held in a clinical skills lab, focuses on building theoretical knowledge and practical techniques. The topics covered include:

  • How to scan the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacroiliac spine in a standardised manner.
  • Understanding the sonoanatomy of the spine to ensure accurate identification of injection sites.
  • Mastering needle visualisation, including in-plane and out-of-plane techniques, for enhanced injection precision.
  • Exploring interventional spinal injection procedures and their clinical relevance.
  • Understanding the complexities of injection therapy, including potential pitfalls and medico-legal considerations.

Practical workshops will cover scanning techniques, identifying key anatomical targets for injections, and preparing you for carrying out ultrasound-guided spinal procedures the next day on the cadavers.

Day 2: Cadaveric Lab Experience

The second day takes place in the state-of-the-art cadaveric lab, providing participants with a realistic environment to apply their skills. Delegates will:

  • Perform ultrasound-guided injections of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacroiliac regions on high-quality cadavers.
  • Practise needle placement and injection techniques under close supervision from expert tutors.
  • Gain confidence in using advanced ultrasound equipment for guided procedures.
  • Apply and consolidate the techniques learned on Day 1 in a hands-on setting.

Injections covered:

  • Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) injection
  • Piriformis injection
  • Trigger point injection
  • Caudal epidural
  • Spinal nerve root injection (cervical, thoracic, lumbar)
  • Facet joint injection (cervical & lumbar)

This invaluable hands-on experience ensures participants are ready to integrate these advanced techniques into their clinical practice with confidence.

Prerequisites

  • Participants must be medical doctors with extensive clinical experience in spine-related diagnosis and treatments.
  • Previous experience and training in diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound-guided injections (USGI) of peripheral joints.

Who should attend
This course is ideal for healthcare professionals, including:

  • Pain consultants
  • Sports doctors
  • Orthopaedic surgeons
  • Rheumatologists
  • General practitioners
