For all the
news of artificial intelligence and the future of robots
and computers in our lives, the benefit of
human touch cannot be replaced. Chiropractic is a
hands-on profession. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation offers hands-on Tonawanda
chiropractic care. Chiropractic has an extensive history of effective
manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related
extremity pain. Touch cannot be dismissed in its influence on healing and is not ignored by your
Tonawanda chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is
implemented starting with the first
day’s exam and extending through the entire
treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the relationship between
doctor and patient is
central. A new study shares
that touch can initiate neuromodulatory effects to reduce
pain and reduce}decrease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers
stated that the effect of touch starts with
the confident handshake and extends through the physical
examination, particularly when the examining physician touches the area
the patient says is painful. This confirms to the patient that the doctor gets
the patient’s pain. Touch also influences treatment for
manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The effect of
touch cannot be refuted. Your
Tonawanda chiropractor at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows
this to be true and witnesses its effect every day
and is happy to see its importance discussed in
the medical literature for manual therapy’s beneficial role in the health care
system for conditions like Tonawanda back pain, neck pain, arm pain,
and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher commented
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 seeks to quantify just how human touch affects back pain relief. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your Tonawanda chiropractor
will welcome the effect of touch as they provide
spinal manipulation with their hands.
Tonawanda CHIROPRACTIC
TOUCH
Chiropractors depend on
their sense of touch in delivering the appropriate
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 assisting doctors gain
that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system used
at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation, research has reported just what those appropriate,
pain-relieving
forces are. (3,4) Force-measuring equipment has been
developed and incorporated into teaching and
daily-use chiropractic tables. (As an extra, in performing
the research study to assess forces with patients, no serious
adverse effects were documented. “First, do no
harm.”) (5,6) The Cox® Technic flexion distraction procedures used at
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation are documented, gentle, and efficient for relieving
pain and dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a
chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our
Tonawanda chiropractic patients want.
