Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Range of Motion (standard of care)At treatment completion, an average of 4 weeks

Clinicians will asses patients for a binary determination of Full Range of Motion or Limited Range of Motion

Clinical determination of healing (standard of care)At treatment completion, an average of 4 weeks

A binary determination of healing after the intervention will be asserted by the clinician

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Physical Therapy ReferralAt treatment completion, an average of 4 weeks

A binary referral to physical therapy as part of the standard of care will be observed if the patient's range of motion (see Primary Outcome 2) is such that the clinician will refer more care.

Patient Reported Outcomes - PainBefore treatment (0 Days) and at treatment completion, an average of 4 weeks

Patient pain scores with the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale will be assessed. The rating scale is 1 (min) to 10 (max) with lower scores being a better outcome.

Patient Reported Outcomes - SatisfactionAt treatment completion, an average of 4 weeks

A questionnaire adapted from the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scale will be administered. The scale is 1 (min) to 5 (max), with high scores indicating a better outcome.
