Manipulation under anesthesia is a chiropractic procedure that is commonly used for pain relief. Individuals are placed under sedation, ranging from moderate to deep, using an intravenous anesthetic. While under anesthesia, the doctors provide myofascial manipulation and soft tissue mobilization. These treatments are used for individuals with long-term conditions or chronic pain. For example, if you have chronic back pain, neck pain, or joint pain MUA may benefit you.
Manipulation Under Anesthesia is beneficial for several common health conditions including herniated or bulging discs, and pinched nerves such as sciatica. It is also beneficial for treating individuals who have pain associated with fibromyalgia, fibrous adhesions, ineffective back surgery, torticollis, chronic back pain, or long-term neck pain. If you have severe muscle spasms, frozen shoulder syndrome, or a serious lack of mobility, you may also find relief using manipulation under anesthesia. Individuals who have experienced sports injuries, car accidents, or work injuries may also be able to see results from this type of soft tissue therapy.
