Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA-FRP) is a non-invasive procedure that has been utilized for over 70 years. It is increasingly offered for acute and chronic unresolved conditions such as: neck pain, back pain, joint pain, muscle spasm, shortened muscles, fibrous adhesions, and long term pain syndromes.
The procedure consists of the patient being sedated with anesthesia (pre-op Versed or Fentanyl) and during the MUA may include the anesthesiologist's choice of Propofol (Diprivan), Midazolam (Versed), Sufentanyl, and, occasionally, Succinylcholine, through a secured IV.The MUA-FRP is performed by a specially trained MD, DO or DC in a local surgical center.
Originally when I was involved in the car accident, pain was effecting every area of my life. However with the proper care, that was provided by Dr. Kaldy, my level of pain and range of motion progressed as well as my overall strength. I had extreme headaches, neck and middle back pain and some lower back pain following a car accident.
