General Information
Manipulation of the spine with the patient sedated is one of the gentlest and most effective methods of altering fibroadhesive scar tissue that have developed from failed surgeries old sports injuries and chronic disc injuries.
MUA provides targeted manipulations of the extremities, 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
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA)?

Manipulation Under Anesthesia is a viable alternative for those patients that are not responding to traditional conservative care or other invasive procedures such as surgery
Who Qualifies For MUA?
In general, patients selected for Manipulation Under Anesthesia are those with certain neck, mid-back, low-back or other spinal conditions that have received conservative care for six to eight weeks with limited or no improvement in symptoms or objective findings.
MUA may also be appropriate for those patients that still experience pain after undergoing various invasive treatments such as surgery.
Common indications for Manipulation Under Anesthesia include neck, middle and lower back pain, chronic muscle pain and inflammation, acute and chronic muscle spasm, chronic fibrositis, nerve entrapment, disk pathology including herniated disks, torticollis and failed back surgery.
What is the Procedure Like?
The Manipulation Under Anesthesia procedure involves three consecutive days of treatment. During these three days the patient is treated with spinal manipulative therapy and NWA stretches.
Since the patient is lightly sedated during the MUA procedure, the usual resistance and pain associated with manipulation is eliminated. Through the use of "conscious sedation," a patient is conscious and responsive, but relaxes allowing the physician to administer adjustments similar to those received during regular chiropractic visits but more effectively.
After the procedure, treatment continues as strengthening and stabilization programs are initiated over the next few weeks. Post-procedure care is a vital part of the NWA procedure. Follow-up visits with a chiropractic physician are important at this time as the stretches accomplished during the M-LJA procedure are built upon helping the patient to regain strength and prevent future pain and discomfort.
