Essential Musculoskeletal Injections

Why Should I Perform Injections In My Practice?

How many patients did you refer to orthopedics this month for an injection?

Now imagine if you could have treated many of them yourself.

Every referral means another appointment, another wait, another bill, and another delay before the patient gets relief.

Three corticosteroid injections account for a large percentage of orthopedic injection referrals:

• Knee joint injections
• Subacromial shoulder injections
• Trochanteric bursa injections

These procedures are safe, reproducible, and well within the skill set of primary care and urgent care clinicians—with the right training.

Essential Musculoskeletal Injections is a practical, step-by-step course that teaches you exactly how to perform these injections with confidence.

Treat more patients.
Provide faster relief.
Keep more procedures in your clinic.
Reserve orthopedic referrals for patients who truly need a specialist.

What Is Included In the Course?

Upon completion of the course, you will confidently:

• Recognize indications and contraindications for corticosteroid injections into the knee joint, subacromial bursa, and trochanteric bursa
• Select appropriate corticosteroid and anesthetic agents, concentrations, and dosages
• Identify landmarks and injection sites
• Perform injections
• Counsel patients about potential side effects, expectations, and post-injection care

What Sets This Course Apart From Other Courses?

Agent Ortho uses a variety of multimedia resources to visually demonstrate principles of musculoskeletal medicine. Rather than a lecture and slideshow or a single demonstration, principles are presented using animation and other visuals.

In addition to watching videos of the procedures being performed, you will see the surrounding anatomy and landmarks represented by three-dimensional models under transparent skin. 

In addition to a list of indications, we will review the pathology in a brief, easy to understand manner.

Is It Worth the Cost?

Will this course affect how you practice medicine?

If you are a primary care provider who doesn't currently feel confident giving common musculoskeletal injections, then the answer is yes.

First, you will improve patient satisfaction.

Second, you will add to your own fulfillment by building upon your knowledge and skills.

Third, you will lower wait times at specialist clinics and lower overall healthcare costs.

Fourth, you will increase clinic revenue and your own value to the clinic.

From a financial standpoint, Medicare reimbursement ranges from about $70-80 per injection for the large joint and bursa injections described in this course. That means you will pay for the course by performing 3 to 4 injections.
