In this episode of the Talking Rehab Podcast, I explore the crucial topic of image guidance in injections, comparing traditional landmark-based methods with more modern techniques using x-rays and ultrasound. As a sports and spine medicine physician, I've seen firsthand how technology can improve accuracy and patient outcomes, and I discuss why I believe image guidance should be the standard of care.

- [00:39] - Introduction to image guidance in injections.
- [01:15] - Comparing landmark-based injections to image-guided injections.
