ANESTHETIC MANIPULATION
Many people suffer from adhesive capsulitis or "frozen shoulder". The condition and traditional rehabilitation may be very painful and time consuming. To decrease time to return to full function, this form of manipulation was developed by Paul Roubal, PhD, PT and Jeff Placzek, MD, PT, OCS. This is used when conventional treatment fails to improve range of motion and function. It allows for acceleration of therapy, often with a reduction in pain. The procedure requires one day off of work. Patients will have to follow through with an aggressive home stretching program and will be seen daily by their physical therapist. After this first week, they will continue three times a week as needed. Generally, the time following the manipulation requires one month to maintain range of motion and gain strength.
