North Hollywood, CA - Performance Care Sports Medicine North Hollywood, a top-rated integrative pain management and sports injury clinic in Los Angeles, announced today that Dr. Golan Nissim, DC is now certified in Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) and is offering this advanced procedure to qualified patients at the clinic.
MUA is a specialized, non-surgical procedure performed under monitored anesthesia in which the doctor uses controlled joint manipulation and soft-tissue techniques to help restore mobility, reduce adhesions, and address chronic pain that has not responded to traditional conservative care.
“Many of our patients come to us after months or even years of dealing with pain that hasn’t improved with standard chiropractic care, physical therapy, or medication,” said Dr. Golan Nissim, DC, chiropractor at Performance Care Sports Medicine North Hollywood. “With Manipulation Under Anesthesia, we’re able to more effectively address deep restrictions and scar tissue while the patient is relaxed and comfortable. For the right candidate, it can be a powerful tool to help break through stubborn plateaus and get them moving again.”
Expanding Options for Patients with Chronic Pain
Performance Care Sports Medicine North Hollywood has built its reputation on helping athletes, stunt performers, actors, and hardworking everyday patients get out of pain and back to peak function using a comprehensive, integrated approach. The clinic combines chiropractic care, physical therapy, Active Release Techniques® (ART), regenerative therapies, spinal decompression, shockwave therapy, IV therapy, and more under one roof.
The addition of MUA strengthens the clinic’s ability to treat:
- Chronic neck and low back pain
- Pain and stiffness related to herniated or bulging discs
- Shoulder, hip, and other joint restrictions
- Failed response to traditional in-office manipulation or therapy
- Certain cases of post-injury or post-surgical stiffness*
“Performance Care has always been about combining the best of hands-on treatment, innovative therapies, and a genuinely caring team,” said a spokesperson for the clinic. “Dr. Nissim’s MUA certification allows us to offer an additional option for patients who feel like they’ve tried everything and still aren’t getting relief. It fits perfectly with our mission of relieving pain and restoring lives.”
*MUA is not appropriate for every patient or condition; all candidates are thoroughly evaluated and medically cleared prior to the procedure. Individual results may vary.
What Is Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA)?
During MUA, the patient is placed under light to moderate sedation administered and monitored by an anesthesia provider. While the patient is relaxed and unable to guard or resist due to pain, Dr. Nissim performs controlled spinal and/or extremity joint mobilizations along with targeted myofascial release and stretching. This allows the doctor to:
- Gently break up adhesions and scar tissue
- Improve joint range of motion
- Reduce muscle spasm
- Help restore more normal biomechanics and mobility
MUA is typically considered for patients who:
- Have undergone a sufficient trial of conservative care (such as chiropractic, physical therapy, and home exercise)
- Still experience significant pain and/or restricted motion
- Have no contraindications to anesthesia or the procedure itself.
“Think of MUA as an advanced extension of what we already do in the office,” added Dr. Nissim. “It’s not a first-line treatment, but for select patients who qualify, it can be the missing link that helps them finally move forward in their recovery.”
