Which is better for frozen shoulder? mua w/scope scar tissue removal and release or just scope w/scar tissue removal and release

Both : are usually done together. Some chose not to perform mua at same time to limit the bleeding it causes prior to scoping the shoulder

MUA: MUA, or manipulation under anaesthesia is the most patient friendly way to perform any procedure compared to the same procedure without anaesthesia. Your orthopedist may tell you he/she can assess things better without anaesthesia, but some people have a low pain threshold, and would not be very compliant in those circumstances, making the procedure difficult to impossible to do the right way
