Manipulation Of A Stiff Shoulder Under Anesthesia

California rates for HCPCS 23700

Frees up a shoulder that has become severely stiff, usually from frozen shoulder or scarring after injury or surgery. With the patient asleep and the muscles fully relaxed, the doctor moves the arm firmly through its range of motion to break the tight scar tissue inside the joint. Physiotherapy starts straight afterwards to hold on to the movement gained.
