MUA has demonstrated effectiveness in treating a variety of pain-related symptoms, including:
In many instances, sedated manipulation can produce more long-lasting pain relief than other forms of manipulation. In addition, the technique is considered safer and less expensive than surgery and other invasive treatments.
First, your medical provider must determine that sedated manipulation is a viable treatment for your case. When it is, your osteopath will work with a team to perform the procedure. An anesthesiologist will administer and monitor the sedation, while the osteopath uses a variety of manipulation techniques to achieve the desired outcome. Those technique may include stretching, adjusting, and other movements to realign and mobilize the affected area of the body.
In most cases, the entire procedure takes only about 10-15 minutes, after which the patient is awakened and kept in a recovery area for further monitoring. Patients often report marked improvement in symptoms like pain after just one treatment session.
When you are experiencing chronic pain, weakness, loss of range of motion, or other disruptive symptoms, osteopathic care can help you get the relief you need. Sedated manipulation can play a vital role in effectively treating many chronic conditions that fail to respond to more conventional approaches. As an approved MUA practitioner, Dr. Tafler can ensure that you receive the best treatment options for your condition.
