For patients who receive manipulation under anesthesia, MUA post-procedure care is an important part of the healing process. Osteopaths provide detailed post-procedure recommendations to help ensure that you enjoy the maximum benefits from your treatment. This aftercare is designed to:
As with most procedures, aftercare technically begins as soon as the session is complete. Afterwards, it progresses with different levels of care over the course of several weeks. Your osteopath will provide specific aftercare instructions for your unique situation and needs.
There are a variety of options that may be recommended for the period immediately following your procedure. They can include:
Over the next week, the patient will usually be instructed to continue with stretching exercises and other movements selected to aid in soft tissue mobility. Heat and cold therapy may also be included in the post-procedure care regiment, along with other in-office therapy options. In some instances, multiple MUA procedures may be needed to maximize the effects.
Once that first week of care is completed, the patient may be advised to transition to a specific rehabilitation regimen. The osteopath will often create a program of physical exercises, stretches, and muscle-strengthening techniques to expedite a full recovery. However, the specifics of any rehab effort will be dependent on the patient’s health and the nature of his or her condition. Some aspects of the therapy may be conducted in a clinical environment, while others can be done at home.
