Touch is Part of Manahawkin Chiropractic Centers Relieving Back Pain Care
For all the news of artificial intelligence and the future of robots and computers in our lives, the benefit of human touch can’t be replaced. Chiropractic is a hands-on profession. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center offers hands-on Manahawkin chiropractic care. Chiropractic has an extensive history of effective manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related extremity pain. Touch can’t be ignored in its influence on healing and isn’t ignored by your Manahawkin chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is established starting with the first day’s exam and throughout the entire treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the doctor-patient relationship is important. A recent report shares that touch can produce neuromodulatory effects to reduce pain and reduce}decrease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers wrote that the effect of touch starts with the confident handshake and extends through the physical examination, particularly when the examining physician touches the spot the patient indicates is painful. This confirms to the patient that the doctor gets the patient’s pain. Touch also extends into treatment for manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The effect of touch can’t be denied. Your Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center recognizes that this is true and sees its effect every day and is happy to see its importance presented in the medical literature for manual therapy’s beneficial role in the health care system for conditions like Manahawkin back pain, neck pain, arm pain, and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher remarked on a leading study’s outcomes about the effect of spinal manipulation and exercise for back pain relief: “the data are compatible with a non-specific effect caused by touch.” (2) Science tries to quantify just how human touch affects back pain relief. Until that is done, chiropractic physicians like your Manahawkin chiropractor will embrace the effect of touch as they provide spinal manipulation with their hands.
Manahawkin CHIROPRACTIC TOUCH
Chiropractors rely on their sense of touch in providing the proper forces to the spine, forces that provide pain relief for the back pain and neck pain patient. It takes experience to really refine the appropriate force application. Today, though, technology may be helpful with this as force-feedback systems are helping doctors acquire that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system utilized at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center, research has documented just what those appropriate, pain-relieving forces are. (3,4) Force-measuring equipment has been created and incorporated into teaching and daily-use chiropractic tables. (As a bonus, in performing the research study to test forces with patients, no serious adverse effects were found. “First, do no harm.”) (5,6) The Cox® Technic flexion distraction procedures used at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center are documented, gentle, and effective for easing pain and dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our Manahawkin chiropractic patients seek.
