What Is Manipulation Under Anesthesia?

Manipulation Under Anesthesia, otherwise known as MUA, is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure offered for acute and chronic pain. The procedure often corrects problematic issues with the discs, muscles, ligaments and tendons; old injuries from sports, accidents or poor posture and fibrotic, tight or general spasms in the neck, back, shoulders and hips.

By lightly anesthetizing a patient using a "twilight" sedative, these painful adhesions are released and symptoms drastically improved and range of motion restored.

This procedure is an established and widely recognized procedure and part of "pain management" for more than 60 years. It is a very safe alternative and highly successful. Dr. Ashley has been very pleased with the results, but notes that not every patient is a candidate for MUA.
