About This Joint / Extremity / Non-Spinal Injection Course Session
Joint / Extremity / Non-Spinal Injection Course meets in Orlando, FL on May 1, 2027. Today's session combines concise lectures, live demonstrations, and hands-on practice of injection techniques under expert supervision.
This intensive course provides a systematic review of joint and extremity injection techniques outside the spine, covering shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, and small joint procedures. Participants will examine relevant anatomy, pathophysiology, medication selection, and evidence-based indications. The curriculum integrates sterile preparation, needle selection, and ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance principles. Case-based discussions highlight common pitfalls and strategies for safe, effective delivery of corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, and regenerative injectables.
Clinicians who complete the program will leave with a practical framework for incorporating extremity injections into everyday practice, enhancing patient pain management and functional recovery. The hands-on component reinforces tactile feedback and image interpretation, fostering confidence in real-world settings. By mastering these techniques, providers can broaden their therapeutic options while adhering to safety standards, ultimately supporting higher quality care for musculoskeletal patients across diverse practice environments.
