JohnnyLAX9 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hey all! I'm a part of an interventional pain management group in Oregon. I am curious as to what procedures everyone else is doing in there practice. I have been here for about a year and a half and I'm starting to feel more comfortable doing procedure and want to know how far I can go and what others have done. Right now in our group there are PAs who do joint and bursa injections, Trigger Point Injections, and botox for chronic migraine. I have heard of PAs doing nerve blocks as well. I also have seen PAs doing PRP procedures however our group works with Regenexx for all of our orthobiologics and they are very much against PAs doing this so that is a no go right now. I have been doing some reading and it looks like PAs can operate the fluoroscope in the state of Oregon with special training and sitting for a test with the ARRT so that could mean hips, SIJs, and caudals. What else is out there? What is everybody else doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
