Look At What Others Are Saying About MUA

"After suffering with a frozen shoulder for over two years my husband convinced me to see Dr. A.J. Rubano.  He and his staff treated me in such a way that I felt comfortable from the start.  They ministered to my physical needs and treated me with  the utmost respect.  I was a little apprehensive at first about undergoing MUA, but now three months later I am completely better.  I am able to move my arm freely without pain and have resumed exercising on a regular basis.  Thank you, Dr A.J."

"As a teaching Professional(golf) I enjoy not only challenging my students, but also improving on my own game.  After suffering with back pain and stiffness for years I had grown accustomed to it and considered it part of the game.  It wasn't until my golf game began to suffer that I realized I needed releif and fast.  As a result of my lack of mobility I had lost considerable distance on my driving.  After speaking with Dr. A.J. Rubano I decided to give MUA a try.  I am glad I did.  Just 7 days after undergoing the MUA procedure my driving distance had improved by 30 yards and now over 6 weeks later I am improving even more because I can practice without lower back pain."

"Years of waiting tables and tending bar took it's toll on my body.  After Dr. Rubano helped me over my lower back pain and sciatica caused by degenerated discs I still experienced  alot of neck and shoulder discomfort that was not going away with the chiropractic adjustments he was giving me.   That is when he suggested MUA as a way to stop the hurting I was feeling in my upper body.  I was surprised at how quickly the procedure took effect.  I had a little soreness after the first two days, but by the third day my shoulder and neck were about 90% better.  I have been following through on the exercises Dr. Rubano has given me and continue to feel very good despite increased hours at the restaraunt I work at."

"I couldn't stand for more than about 20 minutes at a time before I met with Dr A.J..  This was very troubling because my job requires standing, sometimes for hours, while giving sales presentations.  I also was missing out on a lot of golf as well because it was just too painful to get in and out of the cart.   Dr. Rubano ordered an MRI and found out I had a protruded disc in my lower back.  He diagnosed me with sciatica and chronic muscle spasms related to scar tissue in my back.  After undergoing Spinal Decompression on the DRX9000 I was about 70% better, but I still felt stiff.  I noticed the doctor couldn't get my spine to "pop".  I was happy to be so much better and even happier when Dr. Rubano told me that there was another procedure that might help me get all the way back.  After having the MUA in October I am now 100% free of pain and enjoying life on the golf course, and more standing!"

"As an office manager for a busy pediatric practice I can't afford to be less than my best.  Neck pain and headaches were making it difficult for me to function at work and even harder to care for my four children who range in age from 12 years to 6 months.  When pain medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs were no longer easing my pain I didn't know where to go.  Thankfully my husband introduce me to Dr. Rubano's services.  He explained to me that I was suffering from the effects of adhesions and scar tissue that had formed in my neck and upper back as a result of a bad car accident I had experienced many years ago.  He also showed me how the lack of movement in my neck would only cause the problem to grow worse without intervention.  I was relieved when he told me I could get better without surgery through the MUA procedure......... I had my MUA in September, it was nice to get a three day break from work and my husband helped out with the kids.  Best of all the therapy that Dr. Rubano did on me while I was under (the anesthesia) has really helped a lot.  The headaches stopped almost immediately and the tightness in my neck and upper back are muchg much less.  Dr. Rubano worked with me for about 6 weeks after the mUA to teach me how to exercise and make sure I was doing the exercises right."
