The proposed effects of manipulation under anesthesia therapy include the following: Breaking up scar tissue (adhesions) both in and around the spinal joints, commonly caused by multiple injuries or failed back surgery Decreasing chronic muscle spasm Overcoming super sensitivity of injured areas, making the patient unable to cooperate for effective treatment Stretching persistent shortened muscles, ligaments and tendons This procedure, manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), is a non- invasive procedure increasingly offered for acute and chronic conditions, including: neck pain, back pain, joint pain, muscle spasm, shortened muscles, fibrous adhesions and long term pain syndromes.

lumbar spine as well as the sacroiliac and pelvic regions.
