Title
Precision Ultrasound & Energy-Based Modalities in Regenerative MSK Care
Integrating Advanced Imaging, Targeted Interventions, and Synergistic Therapies
Course Description
This intensive one-day, hands-on training is designed for physicians and musculoskeletal specialists seeking to elevate their clinical expertise in diagnostic ultrasound and energy-assisted regenerative therapies. Led by internationally recognized instructors, Dr. Rowan Paul, Dr. Kentaro Onishi, and Leslie Aja, RDMS, participants will master the identification of common pathological structures, targeted injection techniques, and dynamic functional assessments for optimized patient outcomes.
Attendees will also explore the clinical integration of MLS Class IV Laser Therapy, Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT), Focused & Radial Shockwave Therapy, and Softwave™ Shockwave, applied synergistically with biologics to enhance tissue healing and recovery. The program includes extensive live-model scanning and guided hands-on sessions, ensuring participants leave with the confidence to translate these modalities into everyday clinical practice.
