Manipulation Under Anesthesia - Dr. Thomas F. Dow

MUA or Manipulation Under Anesthesia is a therapy technique performed by skilled chiropractors like myself which is a safe-noninvasive procedure. It will eliminate/reduce pain dramatically by the use of stretching techniques and exercising maneuvers.

Manipulation Under Anesthesia is not a new technique. This technique has been used since the 1930s and it has been recommended by many osteopaths and medical surgeons. However the many advances in monitored anesthesia care have made this procedure a very beneficial treatment option for patients.

What conditions does MUA treat?
Manipulation under Anesthesia. can be a very beneficial procedure for patients with chronic neck, back and joint problems and conditions. Anything from long-term disabilities, car accidents, job-related accidents and injuries or anything that has not been responsive to other treatments, MUA can be the right treatment. Just remember, M.U.A. is not for everybody. Consult with ME, your medical doctor or chiropractor first before you do decide this is a possible treatment for you. Common conditions that M.U.A. is known to be very effective for include:

-Fibro adhesion buildup
-Chronic disc problems
-Herniated disc without fragmentation
-Chronic myofascitis
-Intractable pain from neuromusculoskeletal conditions
-Torticollis
-Chronic re-injury
-Failed back surgery
-Chiropractic patients who have reached a plateau using traditional therapy also can significantly improve their quality of life using M.U.A.

MUA can also reduce/ cure:
