Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) Certified for Chronic Pain

Manipulation Under Anesthesia, or MUA, Is A Non-Surgical Solution To Back Pain Where Standard Chiropractic Manipulations Had Minimal Results.

MUA is a highly specialized, non-invasive chiropractic 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 used by specially trained chiropractors and orthopedic surgeons as a means of breaking up scar tissue around a joint without complete range of motion. In cases of post operative total knee replacement, for example, if a patient is having difficulty achieving their flexibility, the doctor can place the patient under anesthesia and perform a manipulation under anesthesia.

The procedure takes a relatively short period of time (15- 30 min) and is normally covered by insurance.

Drs. Michael and Steven Giacoppo are MUA certified. Not all patients are a candidate for MUA. Please contact us for a consultation to discuss your unique situation and find out if MUA is the right choice to help you relieve your chronic pain.
