Am I a candidate for M.U.A.?

Patients who have failed conservative care or have reached a "plateau" are potential candidates for this procedure. However, careful selection of qualified candidates is key to success. Your doctor will determine if M.U.A. is an option for you.

Once you are approved for M.U.A., you will require a complete medical screening so you can be cleared for twilight sedation.

Your doctor may also order additional tests such as MRIs, blood tests, EKG, chest x-ray and pregnancy test.

M.U.A. can be an effective procedure for people with chrinic neck, back and joint problems including pain and restricted motion. It is also effective for people with conditions caused by long-term disabilities, accidents and injuries that have not been responsive to conventional treatment.

What is M.U.A.?

Manipulation Under Anesthesia or M.U.A. is a non-invasive, highly specialized technique performed by Specially Trained Chiropractic, Osteopathic and trained Medical Physicians for patients who are not finding relief through conservative treatment or who have been facing or have already had surgery. M.U.A. is an effective alternative to risky and invasive spinal surgery. Studies prove the M.U.A. eliminates or greatly reduces pain and restores or greatly improves normal range of motion.
