Touch is Part of Apple Country Chiropractics Relieving Back Pain Care
There’s discussion of artificial intelligence and the future of robots and computers in our lives, the positive effect of human touch can’t be replaced. Chiropractic is a hands-on profession. Apple Country Chiropractic offers hands-on Williamson chiropractic care. Chiropractic has a long history of effective manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related extremity pain. Touch can’t be dismissed in its influence on healing and is not ignored by your Williamson chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is set beginning 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 recent study states that touch can initiate neuromodulatory effects to ease pain and reduce}decrease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers wrote that the effect of touch begins with the confident handshake and extends through the physical examination, especially when the examining physician touches the area the patient says is painful. This lets the patient know that the doctor understands the patient’s pain. Touch also influences treatment for manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The impact of touch can’t be refuted. Your Williamson chiropractor at Apple Country Chiropractic 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 Williamson 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 Williamson chiropractor will welcome the effect of touch as they deliver spinal manipulation with their hands.
Williamson CHIROPRACTIC TOUCH
Chiropractors rely on their sense of touch in providing the appropriate forces to the spine, forces that provide pain relief for the back pain and neck pain patient. Experience really refines the appropriate force application. Today, though, technology may be helpful with this as force-feedback systems are helping doctors gain that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system used at Apple Country Chiropractic, research has reported just what those proper, pain-relieving forces are. (3,4) Force-measuring equipment has been developed and integrated into teaching and daily-use chiropractic tables. (As a bonus, in performing the research study to assess forces with patients, no serious adverse effects were produced. “First, do no harm.”) (5,6) The Cox® Technic flexion distraction procedures used at Apple Country Chiropractic are documented, gentle, and effective for easing pain and decreasing intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our Williamson chiropractic patients seek.
