MUA is a safe, proven treatment that has worked for thousands of patients over the last 50 years. Many people are not familiar with MUA, including doctors. MUA is not new and it is non-surgical.
We have treated over 350 patients in that time period. Those patients include several bodybuilders, rugby players, professional MMA fighters, professional football players, and a professional boxer. High level athletes respond well because a lot of their chronic, recurrent problems are from trauma from their sport/activity that results in scar tissue/adhesion within tendons/ligaments/muscles thereby restricting movement and function.
The procedure itself is exactly what it sounds like. After proper medical evaluation and testing, a patient is lightly anesthetized to achieve total relaxation. Then, a specially trained team of physicians perform specific maneuvers and muscle stretching movements on the affected portion of the spine or limb that would normally be too painful for a chronic pain patient to even consider.
To gain full relief, the procedure is normally repeated over the course of 3 days in a surgical center with an anesthesiologist as part of the team.
