Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) is one of the most exciting and effective chiropractic physical medicine procedures being performed today for the treatment of chronic and recurrent back pain, fibroblastic proliferative changes, chronic muscle spasm, failed back syndromes, herniated discs and unresolved headaches of non-organic origin. The procedure is within nationally published practice guidelines and parameters of care.
MUA expands the primary role of the chiropractic physician in chronic pain management (PM) and physical medicine. It enables the physician to provide a higher level of care, as well as an alternative to surgery to their patients.
