MUA Clinical Studies & Medical Testimonials

Research & Statistics

There are several research studies about the effectiveness of MUA, including:

1. "83% of 600 patients with EMG verified radiculopathies reported significant improvement" - Robert Mensor, MD
2. "Patients that had back pain for a minimum of 10 years reported an 87% recovery rate after MUA" - Ongly, et. al., 1987
   
3. "51% of patients with unrelieved symptoms after conservative care had been exhausted reported good to excellent results three years post MUA" - Donald Chrisman, MD
4. "71% of 723 MUA patients had good results (returned to normal activity relatively symptom free) and 25.3% had fair results (return to normal activity with slight residuals), flexibility, elasticity and range of motion can be restored following MUA "- Bradford and Siehl
5. "83% of 517 patients treated with MUA responded well" - Paul Kuo, MD professor of Orthopedic Surgery

In 1988, Krumhansi and Nowacek reported on an MUA study ..."done on 171 patients who experienced constant intractable pain for several months to 18 years. All of the patients of the study failed other conservative treatment. The study showed that 25% of the patients had no pain following MUA, 50% were much improved..., 20% were better and could tolerate their pain... Failures comprised 5% where there was minimal or no pain relief periods".
