IS the Program Right for Me?
Selecting the proper patient is the first step in successful treatment. Most patients have already undergone chiropractic care, physical therapy, medication options, pain management procedures, and even surgery with limited improvement.
Although there are many conditions which MUA will benefit, the most common ones include:
- painful, weak, and restricted joint motion that interferes with daily activities and the ability to enjoy life
- chronic neck and back pain/weakness
- chronic shoulder, hip, knee, pelvis and/or other extremity pain/weakness
- adhesive capsulitis (e.g. frozen shoulder following injury, surgery and/or mastectomy)
- fibromyalgia
- disc conditions
- failed surgery
- pain syndromes due to injuries or those which have evolved over the course of time
Certain patients are not candidates for MUA due to conditions that are not conducive to manipulation. These include, but are not limited to: osteoporosis, cancer, uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, previous stroke and advanced age.
