Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) is a beneficial, non-invasive procedure to relieve pain associated with acute and chronic neck pain, back pain, joint pain, and migraines. It is performed on only those patients who have little or no response to any other treatment and meet all the requirements to be considered a candidate for the procedure. It is especially effective for people with conditions caused by long-term disabilities due to accidents or injuries that are not relieved through conservative treatment. MUA uses a combination of specific short lever manipulations, passive stretches, and specific muscle, joint, and tendon movements to break up fibrous adhesions and scar tissue around joints, the spine, and surrounding tissue. MUA can be an alternative for patients facing invasive surgery.
