Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) Gloucester County, NJ
If your chronic back pain has not responded to other treatment, an interdisciplinary treatment approach could be the solution for you. Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) combines the disciplines of osteopathic and chiropractic medicine in order to approach treatment with the most comprehensive understanding of how to correct structural problems in patients’ bodies. Dr. Peter Ferraro, DC has performed more than 5,000 MUA procedures and he operates near Gloucester County, New Jersey making MUA treatment available to all of his patients.
MUA is a back and neck pain treatment that anesthetizes the patient’s back muscles to facilitate medically realigning them to the proper position. This treatment helps the body restore the patient’s lost range of motion. Manipulation care is more efficient than using oral pain medications because it can specifically target the damaged areas of the body. Prior to undergoing MUA the patient’s specific health conditions are determined using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans. The patient’s course of MUA treatment typically involves three MUA sessions that can take place over the course of three days or three weeks depending on the patient’s schedule. Dr. Ferraro has been certified to perform this therapy and has many years of experience treating patients in pain.
