       MUA (Manipulation Under Anesthesia: Dr. Skurka is now performing a new treatment option for the first time on Long Island for the Chronic Pain Patient called MUA (Manipulation Under Anesthesia). This procedure will be performed at the Long Island Surgicenter in Melville, New York.
 
Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) - What is MUA?

Manipulation under anesthesia is a technique that originated in the 1930’s where patients are placed in "twilight" sedation so that the spine can be adjusted and the soft tissue stretched when the patient is in a more relaxed state. MUA is now available at the Skurka Chiropractic Centers and will be performed for the first time on Long Island by Dr. Christopher D. Skurka, for the chronic pain suffers. There are some patients whose acute condition may warrant MUA, but the overwhelming majority of patients who choose MUA as a treatment option are those with chronic pain that have been unresponsive to conventional treatment.
Who is the MUA patient?

Patients whose chronic pain is due to one of the following sources is a MUA candidate: (partial list)

• Fixed articulations from adhesion syndrome
• Herniated disc w/out fragment
• Bulging disc
• Protruded disc
• Failed back surgery
• Fibromyalgia patients
• Chronic sprain/strain
• Unresponsive muscle contracture
• Chronic neuromusculoskeletal conditions
Where is MUA performed?

Dr. Christopher D. Skurka’s patients will have their MUA procedures performed at the Long Island Surgicenter in Melville, Long Island. Once it is determined that you are a MUA candidate , medical clearance will be arranged by the Skurka Chiropractic Centers, than the MUA will be scheduled at the Surgicenter.
Treatment after your MUA:

The treatment after your MUA is extremely important to your recovery. Dr. Christopher D. Skurka and his staff will arrange for the treatment after your MUA at either one of his centers or at your chiropractor/healthcare provider in your area. Our treatment goal with this procedure is to have you return to a pain free lifestyle. We, at the Skurka Chiropractic Centers are dedicated to doing whatever possible to achieve this goal.
Is MUA covered by my insurance?

MUA is not an experimental procedure and it is covered by most insurance carriers.
