techniques: 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).
