Manual Manipulation of Knee

Enhance knee mobility through anesthesia-assisted manipulation

Manipulation of the knee under anesthesia is a medical procedure where a patient is given anesthesia to numb the knee joint. The doctor then manipulates the knee joint to improve its range of motion. This procedure is usually performed on patients who have undergone knee replacement surgery and are experiencing limited mobility due to scar tissue or stiffness. The manipulation helps to break up the scar tissue and improve the knee’s flexibility. The procedure is generally safe and effective, but there may be some discomfort and swelling in the knee afterwards.
