Description This practical, illustrated guide covers 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 injection and location the correct
anatomical position for the insertion of the needle is demonstrated and explained on the CDRom.
