Diagnostic Ultrasound Training, Trigger Point Workshop, and PRP Protocols
September 20th & 21st, 2024 in Fort Myers, Florida
Embark on a transformative journey into the realm of precision musculoskeletal ultrasound-guided injection techniques with our advanced training course. Tailored for experienced practitioners seeking to elevate their proficiency in regenerative injection therapies, this comprehensive program offers cutting-edge protocols and hands-on guidance from seasoned experts.
Led by Dr. Michael Meng DC RMSK RN FNP-BC FIAAM , our course delves deep into the intricate art of musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging. Through a combination of didactic sessions, live demonstrations, and immersive practical workshops, attendees will gain invaluable insights into the principles of regenerative medicine and its application in therapeutic injections.
In partnership with:
Dr. Michael Meng came into Musculoskeletal Ultrasound shortly upon graduation from Chiropractic School, in 2003. While employed at Southern California’s largest Rheumatology practice, he quickly took a deep dive into musculoskeletal ultrasound for diagnostic purposes. Over time he became an independent contractor providing ultrasound and ultrasound guided services to numerous clinics of multiple specialties. Dr. Meng has been privileged to perform ultrasound services for the United States Olympic Committee, Santa Monica Orthopedic and Sports Medicine, Anatara Medical, Bio Reset Medical, and the Orthohealing Institute.
Dr. Meng has contributed to multiple ultrasound textbooks with subjects ranging from diagnostics, pathologies, and interventions. Overall, he has been involved in the teaching of MSK ultrasound for 15 years and has more than 10 years of experience in regenerative medicine and ultrasound guided injections.
Peter Everts, Chief Scientific Officer, EmCyte and Program Director, Gulf Coast Biologics, specializes in research and scientific publications in regenerative orthobiologics. Peter will be giving a lecture on the Significance of Orthobiological Formulation
