Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA)

What is MUA?

Manipulation under anesthesia is a technique that originated in the 1930's where patients are placed in "twilight" sedation so that the spine can be adjusted and the soft tissue stretched when the patient is in a more relaxed state. MUA is now available at Premier Care Center for specific acute and chronic pain patients. There are some patients whose acute condition may warrant MUA, but the overwhelming majority of patients who choose MUA as a treatment option are those with chronic pain that have been unresponsive to conventional treatment.

Who is the MUA patient?

Patients whose chronic pain is due to one of the following sources is a MUA candidate: (partial list)

  • Fixed articulations from adhesion syndrome
  • Herniated disc w/out fragment
  • Bulging disc
  • Protruded disc
  • Failed back surgery
  • Fibromyalgia patients
  • Chronic sprain/strain
  • Unresponsive muscle contracture
  • Chronic neuromusculoskeletal conditions
Where is MUA performed?

Premier Care Center patients will have their MUA procedures performed at a local surgical center. Once it is determined that you are an MUA candidate, medical clearance will be arranged by Premier Care Center and affiliated our medical and osteopathic physicians, then the MUA will be scheduled at the Surgical center.

Treatment after your MUA

The treatment after your MUA is extremely important to your recovery. Premier Care Center and our staff will arrange for the chiropractic treatment and specific physical therapy rehabilitation program after your MUA at our center or at the appropriate provider in your area. Our treatment goal with this procedure is to have you return to a pain free lifestyle. We, at the Premier Care Center are dedicated to doing whatever possible to achieve this goal.

Dr. Manzo Asks some important questions of interest to Manasquan residents - Chiropractor Manasquan Dr. Manzo Asks...

Which organs are extra?
You don't have any spare parts. Sure, we can survive without our tonsils, appendix, gall bladder and several other tissues, but each serves a purpose. We chiropractors recognize this. So the chiropractic approach I use in Manasquan is to reduce nerve interferences to the control and regulation of every tissue, organ and system of your body.
Can a chiropractor heal?
There's never been a case in which a doctor (chiropractor or otherwise) has formed scar tissue, mended a broken bone or cured a headache. Only you can do that. Turns out you're the doctor! All I do is help remove interferences to your body's healing ability. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
