Adhesive Capsulitis
Stiffness (decreased ROM) and pain at the shoulder

Nasopharyngeal Laryngoscopy
Also called “nose noodle” - usually a flexible thin scope that is entered through the nasal passage to visualize the nasal passages, base of tongue, and larynx.
Fine Needle Aspiration
A needle is entered into the mass to collect a sample of cells. The sample is sent to the lab for formal pathologic biopsy and staining
Ultrasound Guided Injection
Usually a steroid injection, ultrasonography is used to visualize the surrounding structures
