MUA: Mua is done by chiropractors. Make sure that a full evaluation is done by an md with a revies of the MRI before you think of an mua.

Jury is out: The use of manipulation under anesthesia is done by chiropractors. The scientific utility of this has not been proven by independent studies. I wold make sure that the MRI or ct used to make tis decision reviewed by a physician before proceeding.

Probably not: Manipulation under anesthesia is good for frozen shoulder, knee joints or hip joints that have reduced mobility. Generally not done for spine issues.
