 This is a highly illustrated, practical guide with easy-to-follow descriptions of pain injection techniques. It will give special advice on how to achieve a successful block and how to avoid and manage potential problems. The techniques will be described in a systematic way using the following template: anatomy of structures; equipment; drugs; position of patient; needle puncture; and technique confirmation of a successful block; as well as special tips on how to achieve a successful block potential problems and how to avoid and treat aftercare comments. Each description of the injection will be accompanied by figures (photograph/line drawing as appropriate) demonstrating the surface anatomy, patient position, needle puncture site and movement of the needle in relation to anatomy. Where necessary, further figures will be used to show dye injections and successful blocks
