Physicians
should be able to integrate multiple aspects of ultrasound and fluoroscopy in
interventional pain management in treating their patients so that patients have

with interventional procedures, for an outcome improvement, in the treatment of
the patient with chronic pain.
This
course will promote a better understanding of the anatomy and pathophysiology,
involved in chronic pain, and critically
review novel state-of-the-art interventional techniques for management of
chronic pain. We offer the most updated education in pain medicine covering
head upper, lower extremities, trunk and pelvic-perineal procedures.
Our faculty consists of internationally
renowned experts in the field of interventional techniques.
OBJECTIVES
After participation in this educational
meeting, participants should have an understanding of:

therapies
2.-Identify questions that need to be
addressed to increase knowledge of interventional procedures used in pain
treatment
3.-Perform craneo-facial and spinal
procedures of the cervical, dorsal lumbar spine and pelvis.
4.-Define the characteristics of an ultrasound
