There is
talk of artificial intelligence and the future of robots
and computers in our lives, the benefit of
human touch can’t be replaced. Chiropractic is a
hands-on profession. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic delivers hands-on Fort Wayne
chiropractic care. Chiropractic has an extensive history of effective
manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related
extremity pain. Touch can’t be dismissed in its impact on healing and is not ignored by your
Fort Wayne 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 produce neuromodulatory effects to reduce
pain and reduce}decrease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers
wrote that the effect of touch starts with
the confident handshake and extends through the physical
examination, particularly when the physician
conducting the exam touches the spot
the patient explains is painful. This confirms to the patient 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 negated. Your
Fort Wayne chiropractor at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows
this to be true and witnesses its effect every day
and is happy to see its importance presented in
the medical literature for manual therapy’s beneficial role in the health care
system for conditions like Fort Wayne back pain, neck pain, arm pain,
and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher commented
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) Science seeks to quantify just how human touch affects back pain relief. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your Fort Wayne chiropractor
will welcome the effect of touch as they provide
spinal manipulation with their hands.
Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC
TOUCH
Chiropractors depend on
their sense of touch in delivering the appropriate
forces to the spine, forces that deliver pain relief for the back
pain and neck pain patient. It takes experience to
really refine the appropriate force application. Today,
though, technology may help with this as
force-feedback systems are assisting doctors gain
that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system utilized
at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic, research has reported 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 a bonus, in performing
the research study to assess forces with patients, no serious
adverse effects were found. “First, do no
harm.”) (5,6) The Cox® Technic flexion distraction procedures used at
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic are documented, gentle, and efficient for relieving
pain and decreasing intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a
chiropractic treatment outcome combination our
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients seek.
