MUA
What is MUA?
Manipulation under Anesthesia (MUA)
Advanced Spinal Care is one of the first of its kind facilities in Georgia to offer MUA. a highly specialized, non-invasive manipulative stretching technique for chronic pain patients who are no longer responding to regular conservative care. MUA works by altering adhesions and scar tissues to restore range of motion and mobility while the patient is in a safe, temporary ''twilight sleep". As an alternative therapy to surgery and medication, MUA consistently generates life-changing results for carefully selected patients. This procedure is administered in our state-of-the-art surgery suite.
Who can benefit from MUA?
MUA can be an effective procedure for people with chronic neck, back, and joint problems. It is also effective for people with conditions caused by long-term disabilities or accidents and for injuries that have not been responsive to conventional treatment.
MUA helps:
- Fibroadhesion buildup
- Chronic disc problems
- Herniated disc without fragmentation
- TMJ
- Intractable pain from neuromusculoskeldal conditions
- Torticollis
- Chronic re-injury
- Failed back surgery
- Frozen shoulder
For patients who are not finding relief through conservative treatment or we may be facing (or recovering from) surgery, MUA could be an effective alternative. Studies prove that MUA eliminates or greatly reduces pain and restores or greatly improves range of motion. Compared to surgery and other procedures, the return-to-work and return-to-activity rates for MUA patients are significantly faster and longer lasting.
