Manipulation Under Anesthesia

Manipulation under anesthesia is the most suitable, quick and effective treatment for sportsmen all over the world. Since the complete treatment can be performed without any surgery or painful injections, it helps sportsmen to recover quickly and regain total control over the body very soon without the help of any long and continuous medication.

Manipulation under anesthesia is a simple process by which the spinal manipulation is performed while the patient is under anesthesia. It is a painless procedure as it does not require any kind of invasive surgery or painful injections. This kind of treatment is offered to the patients suffering from chronic pain conditions, including back pain, joint pain, neck pain, muscle spasm, fibrous adhesions, shortened muscles and long term chronic pain syndromes.

Manipulation under anesthesia is normally considered quite safe and is implemented to treat pain arising from injury to shoulders, hips, and the thoracic, cervical and lumbar spine. It has also proved to be quite effective in the areas like the sacroiliac and pelvic regions. In addition, it helps the body to receive proper restoration to return to its original form. Most amazingly, it does not require any laser rays or complicated surgeries and therefore the patient does not have to depend on any medicine or machine.

With the advancement of treatment procedures, manipulation under anesthesia has become a multi disciplinary outpatient process. It can be done in a controlled hospital as well as a ambulatory surgical setting, usually over the course of one to three days. Thus, it also helps the sports men from being detained long in the hospital and away from the track.

Manipulation under anesthesia implements a particular combination of specific short lever manipulations, specific articular and postural kinesthetic maneuvers and passive stretches to facilitate break up fibrous bonds, scar tissue around the spine and surrounding tissue in that area. MUA also helps to provide the treatment of the spine and surrounding tissues in a condition when the patient is under general anesthesia or when the patient is under a mild sedative and thus he is more responsive and less apprehensive while eliminating resistance and muscle contracture. The method is applied after the patient is given the injection of anesthetic solutions into specific tissues of the spine.
