IC2B: Novel Ultrasound Guided Injections for Spinal Stenosis (Emerging Concepts and Evidence Basis Behind Novel Approaches to Managing Chronic Spinal Pain) (853523)

*TWO-DAY COURSE* Peripheral sensitization and central sensitization are always considerations that need to be considered along with the treatment of the original sources of “Chronic Spinal Pain’. Diagnostic ultrasound is a cost-effective option that may be used for diagnosis and further Treating with Novel Therapeutic  Ultrasound Guidance Injections including Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Anesthetic, Corticosteroid or even Sterile water only as for improving range of joints motion, regenerative of joints, tendons muscles and nerves. Dry and Wet needling, Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), and High power laser therapy (HPLT) play roles of peripheral desensitization and regeneration of damaged tissues. The novel effect of ESWT is diminishing the calcification and HPLT is decreasing the swollen tissue within a short period of treatment time. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) are selected for central desensitization for pain modulation and novel effects for psychotherapy in chronic pain which mostly develop depression or emotional disturbance or even cognitive dysfunction.
