What happens following the MUA procedure?
Post-Procedure care is a vital part of the MUA procedure. After the procedure, treatment continues as strengthening and stabilization programs are initiated over the next few weeks. Follow-up visits with Dr. Schwartz or with your chiropractor are important at this time as the stretches accomplished during the MUA procedure are built upon, helping the patient to regain strength and prevent future pain and discomfort. Post-procedure care should begin soon after the MUA procedure is completed. You will return to Dr. Schwartz or your doctor’s office where you will then begin rehabilitation for the next four to six weeks including cryo therapy and muscle stimulation early on followed by stretching, flexibility and strengthening exercises, plus regular adjustments as suggested by your doctor. A consistent program of post-MUA therapy will help you regain pre-injury strength and help prevent pain and disability in the future.
