Touch is Part of Minster Chiropractic Centers Relieving Back Pain Care
There is 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. Minster Chiropractic Center offers hands-on Minster chiropractic care. Chiropractic has an extensive history of valuable manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related extremity pain. Touch can’t be ignored in its contribution to healing and isn’t ignored by your Minster chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is implemented starting with the first day’s exam and extending through the whole treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the relationship between doctor and patient is important. A recent study states that touch can initiate neuromodulatory effects to ease pain and ease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers stated that the effect of touch begins with the confident handshake and continues through the physical examination, particularly when the examining physician touches the spot the patient indicates is painful. This lets the patient know that the doctor gets the patient’s pain. Touch also extends into treatment for manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The effect of touch cannot be denied. Your Minster chiropractor at Minster Chiropractic Center knows this to be true and sees its effect daily and is pleased to see its importance discussed in the medical literature for manual therapy’s beneficial role in the health care system for conditions like Minster back pain, neck pain, arm pain, and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher commented on an influential 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 Minster chiropractor will welcome the effect of touch as they deliver spinal manipulation with their hands.
Minster CHIROPRACTIC TOUCH
Chiropractors rely on their sense of touch in delivering the appropriate forces to the spine, forces that deliver pain relief for the back pain and neck pain patient. It takes experience to really refine the appropriate force application. Today, though, technology may help with this as force-feedback systems are helping doctors achieve that key experience. With the chiropractic technique system utilized at Minster Chiropractic Center, research has reported just what those appropriate, pain-relieving forces are. (3,4) Force-measuring equipment has been created and integrated into teaching and daily-use chiropractic tables. (As an extra, in doing 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 Minster Chiropractic Center are documented, gentle, and effective for easing pain and dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our Minster chiropractic patients want.
