Touch is Part of Most Chiropractic Clinics Relieving Back Pain Care
For all the talk of artificial intelligence and the future of robots and computers in our lives, the benefit of human touch cannot be supplanted. Chiropractic is a hands-on profession. Most Chiropractic Clinic offers hands-on Murfreesboro chiropractic care. Chiropractic has an extensive history of valuable manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related extremity pain. Touch cannot be ignored in its contribution to healing and is not ignored by your Murfreesboro chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is set beginning 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 new report documents that touch can produce neuromodulatory effects to ease pain and ease 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 physician conducting the exam touches the area the patient explains is painful. This confirms to the patient that the doctor gets the patient’s pain. Touch also extends into treatment for manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The impact of touch cannot be refuted. Your Murfreesboro chiropractor at Most Chiropractic Clinic recognizes that this is true and sees 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 Murfreesboro 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) Human touch has an effect that science seeks to quantify. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your Murfreesboro chiropractor will welcome the effect of touch as they provide spinal manipulation with their hands.
Murfreesboro CHIROPRACTIC TOUCH
Chiropractors rely on their sense of touch in providing the proper 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 helping doctors gain that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system used at Most Chiropractic Clinic, research has reported just what those proper, 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 Most Chiropractic Clinic are documented, gentle, and efficient for reducing pain and decreasing intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a chiropractic treatment outcome combination our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients want.
