"Non-invasive treatments first, drugs second, and surgery as a last resort. Typically, if patients seek care in this order, they can usually avoid a lifetime of drugs and unnecessary surgery." Written for the layperson, MANIPULATION Under ANESTHESIA introduces MUA as an alternative safe, non-surgical, non-invasive, and highly effective procedure that has been utilized for almost a century with considerable success. It involves placing the patient under a mild anesthesia while the professional team, usually an osteopath and a chiropractic physician, adjusts and stretches the patient's spine and other extremities, such as ankles, shoulders, arms, legs, knees, elbows, pelvis, and/or hips. Much of the success of MUA lies in the fact that the greater extent of manipulation dissolves scar tissues inside the joints and muscles, as well as any fibrous adhesions that have formed due to injury or micro-trauma. When combined with simple follow-up therapies, this procedure not only eliminates pain but also restores or vastly improves the patient's range of motion. It also benefits those who suffer from a range of conditions from fibromyalgia, sciatica, and radiculitis to joint calcification, torticollis, and curvature of the spine. West Palm Beach Chiropractor, Dr. Sabrina Morgen has performed thousands of MUA's in various outpatient ambulatory surgery centers in Palm Beach, Broward, and Indian River Counties. Her easy-to-read guide defines typical candidates for this procedure, outlines the many benefits, and provides a comprehensive list of case studies and evidence based research.
