If you are tired of chronic neck and back pain, Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) may be the solution. It is an effective treatment that makes changes in the spine and surrounding tissue to produce relief and lasting results.

It is an effective treatment for:

• Spinal Pain
• Muscle Spasm
• Shortened Muscles
• Fibrous Adhesions
• Long Term Pain Syndromes

Certain neck, mid back, low back, or other spinal conditions respond poorly to conventional care. The problem is that, due to past or present injury, adhesions and scar tissue have built up around spinal joints and within the surrounding muscles causing chronic pain. Patients often undergo various treatments from physical therapy, chiropractic care, epidural injections, back surgery or other treatments that do not address the fibrous adhesions. Some patients feel better temporarily, but soon find themselves in a reoccurring pain pattern and sometimes disability.

In general, patients selected for MUA are those who have received medical, chiropractic, physical therapy or other conservative care over at least a two-month period. If no improvements in symptoms or objective findings have occurred in the character or the quality of these findings then MUA is an appropriate alternative.

Manipulation under anesthesia is a non invasive procedure that allows doctors to remedy the problem and produce lasting results.

Some of the benefits experienced by those receiving Manipulation of the Spine

• Break up scar tissue (adhesions) both in and around the spinal joints commonly caused by multiple injuries or failed back surgery.
• Decrease chronic muscle spasm.
• Overcome super sensitivity of injured areas making the patient unable to cooperate for effective treatment.
• Improve flexibility from persistent shortening of muscles, ligaments, and tendons due to previous immobilization.
• Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) has also been shown to be effective in relieving pain in cases of damaged intervertebral discs.
