"Discover Freedom: Exploring Manipulation Under Anesthesia for Pain Relief"

Undergoing manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) can be a beneficial option for individuals experiencing chronic pain or limited range of motion due to various musculoskeletal conditions. During the MUA procedure, the patient is placed under anesthesia to relax their muscles, allowing the healthcare provider to perform therapeutic manipulations to improve joint mobility and alleviate pain.

​

The procedure typically involves gentle stretching and manipulation techniques applied to the affected joints or soft tissues. MUA is often used to address conditions such as frozen shoulder, adhesive capsulitis, or chronic back pain that has not responded to other conservative treatments like physical therapy or medication.

Benefits of MUA may include increased joint flexibility, reduced pain, and improved function. However, it's essential to understand that MUA carries certain risks, including injury or complications associated with anesthesia or the manipulation itself.

​

Patients considering MUA should consult with our office to discuss the potential risks and benefits, as well as any alternative treatment options available. Additionally, thorough pre-operative evaluation and post-operative rehabilitation are crucial components of a successful MUA procedure.

As with any medical procedure, it's essential to choose a qualified and experienced healthcare provider who can safely perform the manipulation under anesthesia and provide appropriate post-operative care to optimize outcomes.
