MUS achieves results where other treatments fail because it allows Dr. Johnson to adjust and move your joints and muscles without the usual resistance or discomfort. "Twilight" sedation allows you to be responsive, but not apprehensive. Light manipulations are completed gently and without the patient's usual psychological resistance. Fibrotic adhesions (scar tissue), which limit range of motion and contribute to pain, are altered; muscles are stretched; collagen fibers are remodeled to eliminate or reduce restriction. Pain and discomfort are decreased. The stretches and adjustments received using MUS are the same as those the patient experiences during regular chiropractic visits, but require less force simply because of the patient's relaxed state.
