Chiropractic Modalities
Chiropractic Medicine Is A Non-Invasive, Hands-On Health Care Discipline That Focuses On The Neuro-Musculoskeletal System. Chiropractors Practice A Manual Approach. Doctors Of Chiropractic Are Specifically Trained To Detect And Correct Problems In The Spine, Often Before The Patient Is Even Aware They Exist.
What Is Chiropractic Wellness?
More Often Than Not, When We Tell Someone That We Are A Chiropractic Medicine Office, They Immediately Associate Our Vocation With Neck And/Or Back Pain. What Many Do Not Realize, However, Is That Chiropractic Medicine Is A Health Care Modality That Provides Significantly More Than Just A Solution For Pain. Chiropractic Medicine Is A Lifestyle That Involves All Aspects Of Wellness, Including Exercise, Nutrition, Personal Development, And Stress Relief. We Have Been Fortunate To Work With People From All Walks Of Life (Including Newborns, Children, And Adolescents) And The Outcome Has Been Miraculous.
Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments, the theory being that proper alignment of the body’s musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, will enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication.

What is MUA? Manipulation Under Anesthesia/Sedation, (MUA), is an effective non-invasive treatment option for people suffering from acute and chronic back pain, muscle spasms, and pinched nerves. The combination of manipulation with sedation is not new-it has been successfully performed by orthopedic surgeons for years. MUA is now available at the new state-of-the-art, fully licensed suite at Seven Springs Surgery Center.
How MUA Works The MUA procedure uses twilight sedation to relax restricted muscles, allowing the physician to gently stretch and adjust the spine. The MUA physician is trained to recognize where and how much stretching and adjustments are needed for each patient. Following the three-day procedure, post-MUA exercises begin which will help to achieve the optimal benefit. Typically a rehabilitation program lasts for 3-4 weeks post procedure. The proposed effects of the MUA include altering pain producing scar tissue formations, decompression of bulging/herniated discs, stretching of chronically tight muscles, and eliminating pain by improving range of motion of the affected joints. Patients often undergo various treatments, such as physical therapy, traditional chiropractic care, epidural injections, back surgery, and other treatments. These do not address fibrous adhesions. Some patients feel temporarily better with these treatments, but their pain often returns. Studies have proposed that it is the adhesions and scar tissue that has built up around spinal joints and muscles that causes chronic pain. In order to offer long term pain relief, the fibrous adhesions in the joint capsules, discs, and surrounding supportive tissues must be treated.
