Now in its fourth edition and with a new title - Injection Techniques in Musculoskeletal Medicine - this successful
step-by-step guide is a trusted resource used by a wide range of practitioners who have to deal with the management of
painful joints and soft tissues, particularly in relation to sports and overuse injuries.

Area by area, guidance is given for each lesion on appropriate patient selection and delivery of the drug. Every
technique has its own two-page spread containing a written description along with an anatomical illustration of the
region and a photograph showing the anatomical landmarks for the injection.

This new edition is now accompanied by a Trainer available via www.injectiontechniquesonline.com. For an additional
discounted purchase using the PIN located at the bottom of the inside front cover, readers gain access to a virtual
training guide - introduced by Stephanie Saunders herself - which covers the top most common injection techniques for
each of the body regions. Through key text, videos, animations and interactive self-assessment, users are tested on
their knowledge of anatomical landmarks, differential diagnoses, assessment criteria, drug selection and technical
skill. Further access is given to a library of over 50 video clips showing supplementary injection techniques which
clearly demonstrate the correct anatomical position for each needle insertion.
