Anne... I was out to see him last April and still waiting for work comp to come through for me !!! on my left side hehas to fo the scalene, 1st rib, a snip or two or the trapezious and the pectoral, he says if he can catch me befor the right gets to much worse will get by with the scalene and pectoral minor... what it does from the way he explaied it, it opens the muscle in the shoulder just enough to allow freeing of the nerves and yes in some cases that is all he has done on patients with an excellent recovery rate ! He told me at times less can do more good with less harm. Just this idea of thinkinig helped place my trust in him, instaed of just getting in there and doing more cutting than needed! Though each case is different and guess his overall evaluation(which I must say was very thorough) is the decideing factor.. best luck and do let me know how you make out !!!
