Advanced MSK Ultrasound Center

"Diagnose quicker. Build plans of care faster. And actually have someone in your corner while you're learning to do it."

That's Dr. Raquel Martinez, ND — a naturopathic physician in Tucson, AZ — on what AMSKU SELECT changed for her practice.

Most ultrasound courses end the day the course ends. AMSKU SELECT doesn't. The mentorship, the structure, the people who pick up the phone while you're still climbing the learning curve — that's the part she calls "invaluable."

"How many scans before I'm ready to inject?"

It's the question every physician picking up an ultrasound probe
asks at some point. And in Episode 8 of the AMSKU series (Part 1),
Colin Rigney gives the answer most weekend courses won't:

A number isn't competency.

The needle isn't the hard part — the picture is. Knowing the
anatomy in real time. Telling nerve from tendon from vessel before
you commit. Recognizing pathology cleanly. Diagnostic competency
has to come BEFORE interventional competency.

That's not a weekend. That's a mentored, repped, feedback-driven
process — which is exactly what AMSKU is built around.

This is Part 1. Parts 2 and 3 go deeper into the specific
thresholds and what structured progression actually looks like.

"I would order imaging and then wait hours and hours and hours while my patient sat there." ⏱

That's Kiri Goldner — an emergency nurse practitioner in Phoenix — describing the loop most ER clinicians know by heart. AMSKU Select is what closed it for her: point-of-care MSK ultrasound, with the answer happening in the same room as the patient.

"They're not competitors. They're complementary."

That's how Colin Rigney reframes the ultrasound-vs-MRI debate in
Episode 7 of the AMSKU series — and it's the mental model that
separates good MSK clinicians from great ones.

MRI gives you the macro view. Ultrasound gives you the micro
view. MRI shows you the architecture. Ultrasound shows you the
behavior. Both are powerful. Both have a job.

Ultrasound is the first-line choice for most musculoskeletal
complaints: it's fast, accurate for tendons and ligaments,
dynamic, and you can diagnose AND treat in the same visit.

MRI is essential for deep structures, bone marrow edema, occult
fractures, and surgical planning — it just isn't always necessary
first.

The best doctors don't pick a side. They deploy the right tool
at the right time.

"Hope is not a clinical strategy."

That's how Colin Rigney opens Episode 6 of the AMSKU series — and
he's talking about something every regenerative medicine, pain,
and sports medicine physician needs to hear:

Landmark (blind) injections miss the intended target 30 to 70
percent of the time, depending on the joint. When the biologic
misses, the patient never actually gets the therapy you injected.
Recovery slows, pain persists, and the risk climbs.

Colin calls it "invisible harm" — and in 2026, with the technology
we have, guessing is no longer defensible.

If you inject PRP, orthobiologics, or perform nerve hydrodissection,
watch this before your next procedure.

"The intimate setting is like ultimate — the fact that Colin and Ryan are able to stand behind us and confirm structures." 🩺

Ann De Gray, DPT (Team USA Weightlifting) on what makes AMSKU Select different from a standard large-classroom ultrasound course: small group, faculty standing behind every clinician, real-time structure confirmation on every scan.
