ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 9W - Anatomical Regions
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Manipulation (character 9WB) within the Chiropractic section involves manually applying controlled force to a joint. This procedure moves the joint beyond its normal range of motion but does not exceed the anatomical limit, aiming to restore joint function or reduce pain.
Specifically, this ICD-10-PCS manipulation operation targets anatomical regions through a skilled manual technique, often used in chiropractic care. The provided code 9WB captures this therapeutic intervention accurately. Documenting such manipulations ensures clear communication about the nature of the procedure, particularly in musculoskeletal treatment contexts where joint mobility is a key concern. Proper use of these codes supports precise clinical records for care involving joint mobilization without surgical intervention.
