Elbow Joint Manipulation: Relieving Pain and Restoring Function
The medical procedure involves manipulating the elbow joint while the patient is under anesthesia. This is typically done to relieve pain or stiffness in the joint, or to correct a deformity or injury. The doctor will carefully move the arm and elbow through a range of motions, checking for any restrictions or abnormalities. Anesthesia is used to ensure the patient does not experience any discomfort during the procedure. After the manipulation, the patient may need to undergo physical therapy or other treatments to help restore full function to the joint.
