Manipulation Under Anesthesia Evaluation

Service Description

Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) Evaluation by a Chiropractor Certified Specialist Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) is a specialized chiropractic technique used to treat severe musculoskeletal conditions when other treatments have not been effective. It involves applying chiropractic manipulations while the patient is under light anesthesia, ensuring they are completely relaxed and free from pain during the procedure. The goal is to restore mobility and alleviate chronic pain. MUA Evaluation Process A certified chiropractor performs a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether MUA is an appropriate treatment for a patient. This process starts with an in-depth review of the patient's medical history and a physical examination. The chiropractor will assess the range of motion, flexibility, and specific problem areas. Diagnostic tests, including X-rays or MRIs, may also be ordered to pinpoint the cause of the pain or restricted movement. Based on these findings, the chiropractor will determine whether MUA is the best course of action. Conditions Treated by MUA MUA can effectively treat a variety of chronic and severe musculoskeletal ailments that have not responded to conventional chiropractic care, physical therapy, or medication. Some of the conditions that MUA can address include: Chronic Back Pain Herniated Discs Degenerative Disc Disease Spinal Stenosis Joint Contractures Whiplash and Neck Injuries Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Fibromyalgia Myofascial Pain Syndrome Benefits of MUA MUA offers several significant benefits, particularly for patients who have not found relief through other treatments. Some of the key benefits include: Pain Relief: MUA can help alleviate long-term musculoskeletal pain by realigning joints and tissues. Improved Range of Motion: Many patients experience increased flexibility and mobility after MUA. Non-Surgical Option: It provides a non-invasive alternative to surgery, with fewer risks and faster recovery times. Quick Recovery: Since MUA is minimally invasive, patients often recover more quickly than with surgical procedures. After the evaluation, the chiropractor will discuss the findings and create a personalized treatment plan. MUA typically involves several sessions, and the chiropractor will monitor progress to ensure the best possible results.
