Touch is Part of Pure Chiropractics Relieving Back Pain Care
There is news of artificial intelligence and the future of robots and computers in our lives, the positive effect of human touch cannot be supplanted. Chiropractic is a hands-on profession. Pure Chiropractic offers hands-on Concord, NC chiropractic care. Chiropractic has a long history of valuable manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related extremity pain. Touch cannot be dismissed in its contribution to healing and isn’t ignored by your Concord, NC chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is set starting with the first day’s exam and throughout the whole treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the relationship between doctor and patient is important. A new 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 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 influences treatment for manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The impact of touch can’t be denied. Your Concord, NC chiropractor at Pure Chiropractic recognizes that this is 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 Concord, NC 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) Human touch has an effect that science tries to quantify. Until that is done, chiropractic physicians like your Concord, NC chiropractor will welcome the effect of touch as they deliver spinal manipulation with their hands.
Concord, NC CHIROPRACTIC TOUCH
Chiropractors depend on their sense of touch in delivering the proper forces to the spine, forces that deliver pain relief for the back pain and neck pain patient. Experience really refines the appropriate force application. Today, though, technology may help with this as force-feedback systems are assisting doctors acquire that key experience. With the chiropractic technique system used at Pure Chiropractic, 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 documented. “First, do no harm.”) (5,6) The Cox® Technic flexion distraction procedures used at Pure Chiropractic are documented, gentle, and effective for relieving pain and dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a chiropractic treatment outcome combination our Concord, NC chiropractic patients want.
