There’s
news of artificial intelligence and the future of robots
and computers in our lives, the beneficial effect of
human touch can’t be supplanted. Chiropractic is a
hands-on profession. Back And Neck Care Center delivers hands-on Severna Park
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 impact on healing and isn’t ignored by your
Severna Park chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is
set starting with the first
day’s exam and extending through the whole
treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the doctor-patient relationship is
fundamental. A new report shares
that touch can initiate neuromodulatory effects to ease
pain and reduce}decrease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers
reported that the effect of touch starts with
the confident handshake and extends through the physical
examination, particularly when the physician
doing the exam touches the spot
the patient explains is painful. This lets the patient
know that the doctor understands
the patient’s pain. Touch also extends into treatment for
manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The impact of
touch can’t be denied. Your
Severna Park chiropractor at Back And Neck Care Center recognizes that this is true and witnesses its effect daily
and is pleased to see its importance presented in
the medical literature for manual therapy’s beneficial role in the health care
system for conditions like Severna Park back pain, neck pain, arm pain,
and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher remarked
on an influential study’s outcomes regarding 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 then, chiropractic physicians like your Severna Park chiropractor
will embrace the effect of touch as they deliver
spinal manipulation with their hands.
Severna Park CHIROPRACTIC
TOUCH
Chiropractors depend on
their sense of touch in delivering the proper
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 help in this area as
force-feedback systems are helping doctors acquire
that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system utilized
at Back And Neck Care Center, research has documented just what those appropriate,
pain-relieving
forces are. (3,4) Force-measuring equipment has been
developed 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
Back And Neck Care Center are documented, gentle, and effective for relieving
pain and dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a
chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our
Severna Park chiropractic patients want.
