Instead of allowing patients that failed to respond to conservative care slip into a cycle of drugs and surgery, doctors are giving them the opportunity to live pain-free lives through a procedure known as Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA).

Manipulation of the spine with the patient sedated is one of the gentlest and most effective methods of altering chronic conditions. MUA provides manipulation and adjustments of the spine and surrounding tissue in an atmosphere where the patient is more responsive and less apprehensive therefore eliminating resistance and muscle contracture.

Established and widely recognized in the manual medical arena for more than sixty years, MUA is a viable alternative for patients that do not respond to traditional care or invasive surgical procedures. The procedure continues to gain widespread support and recognition in the medical community and is helping to bring much-needed relief to a greater patient base than ever before.
