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.
