Performance Enhancement Specialist-The National Academy of Sports Medicine Manipulation Under Anesthesia

This procedure is not for the typical chiropractic or physical therapy patient. MUA is reserved for patients who have reached a plateau in their care or have not found results with other conventional pain management techniques.

In an outpatient surgery center, patients undergo conscious sedation under an anesthesiologist’s supervision. This allows the patient’s muscles and joints to relax, thus the chiropractor is able work on the patient without their conscious protective mechanisms engaged.

Remember, this procedure is not for everyone but for those in chronic pain, the results are fantastic!

The Doctors Asks some important questions of interest to Rockville residents - Chiropractor Rockville The Doctors Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Rockville residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic practice members know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
