Manipulation Under Anesthesia

Have You Had Neck or Back Surgery Yet? MUA May Be Your Answer

This is a very real question that you need to ask yourself if you suffer from chronic neck or back pain.

What is MUA?

Manipulation Under Anesthesia or MUA for short is an old widely accepted safe and effective form of manipulative therapy that is used for certain selected types of back and neck problems.

Historically hundreds of articles have been written on various forms of MUA and within the past 8-12 years with advances in anesthesia techniques (monitored anesthesia care, or MAC) and manipulation techniques, MUA has become a real alternative for chronic prolonged conservative office based therapy or potential surgical intervention.
Reliable Clinical Indications for MUA
  • Low Back Disc Problems
  • Cervicogenic Headaches
  • Migraine Headaches
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Frozen Shoulder
  • Torticollis
  • Failed Back Surgery
  • Chronic Recurring Back Pain

All doctors that are trained to perform MUA should be certified by an accredited professional institution, and must have attended at least 32 hours of postgraduate fellowship study. This is followed by proctorship by an experienced practitioner of MUA and then post course completion of at least 5 full cases before full staff privileges are granted.

Where Is MUA Performed

Certified MUA physicians perform MUA only in licensed facilities that meet the criteria for state and federal licensure. This procedure is only performed in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers that have met these high standards for providing health care.

Dr. Zientek Asks some important questions of interest to Rahway residents - Chiropractor Rahway Dr. Zientek Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
