There is
discussion of artificial intelligence and the future of robots
and computers in our lives, the beneficial effect of
human touch can’t be replaced. Chiropractic is a
hands-on profession. New Roads Chiropractic Center offers hands-on New Roads
chiropractic care. Chiropractic has an extensive history of effective
manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related
extremity pain. Touch cannot be ignored in its contribution
to healing and isn’t ignored by your
New Roads chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is
set starting with the first
day’s exam and throughout the entire
treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the relationship between
doctor and patient is
fundamental. 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 begins with
the confident handshake and extends through the physical
examination, especially when the physician
conducting the exam touches the spot
the patient says is painful. This lets the patient
know that the doctor gets
the patient’s pain. Touch also influences treatment for
manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The impact of
touch cannot be refuted. Your
New Roads chiropractor at New Roads Chiropractic Center recognizes that this is true and witnesses its effect daily
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 New Roads back pain, neck pain, arm pain,
and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher remarked
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) Human
touch has an effect that science tries to quantify. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your New Roads chiropractor
will welcome the effect of touch as they deliver
spinal manipulation with their hands.
New Roads CHIROPRACTIC
TOUCH
Chiropractors rely 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. It takes experience to
really refine the proper force application. Today,
though, technology may be helpful in this area as
force-feedback systems are helping doctors acquire
that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system utilized
at New Roads Chiropractic Center, research has reported just what those proper,
pain-relieving
forces are. (3,4) Force-measuring equipment has been
created and integrated into teaching and
daily-use chiropractic tables. (As a bonus, in performing
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
New Roads Chiropractic Center are documented, gentle, and effective for relieving
pain and decreasing intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a
chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our
New Roads chiropractic patients want.
