Description
An illustrated practical guide to the use and technique of injecting joints for the relief of musculoskeletal pain and inflammation. Introductory chapters deal with the effects of corticosteroids and local anaesthetics and their uses; safety procedures which should be observed when using these products for injection and guidelines to safe injection techniques. The bulk of the book deals with the technique of injection joint by joint. The text is laid out so that each page of text describing the technique is matched by a facing page of illustrations illustrating the procedure. For each joint there is a 4 colour line drawing of the anatomy of the joint and a full colour photograph showing the surface anatomy position for injection. The actual technique of giving the injectin and locatin the correct anatomical position for the insertion of the needle is demonstrated and explained on the CDRom. The cd-rom will include: An introduction by the author Demonstrations of 21 upper limb injections (plus 7 clips using bones to show the correct anatomical location for the injection) Demonstrations of 27 lower limb injections (plus 7 clips using bones to show correct anatomical location for the injection) Demonstrations of 7 spinal/advanced techniques (with 5 clips using bones to show anatomical location for the injection) Demonstrations of two real injections (ie not using a sheathed needle).
