Touch is Part of Aaron 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 can’t be supplanted. Chiropractic is a hands-on profession. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic offers hands-on Fort Wayne chiropractic care. Chiropractic has a long history of valuable manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related extremity pain. Touch can’t be dismissed in its contribution to healing and is not ignored by your Fort Wayne chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is established starting with the first day’s exam and throughout the whole treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the doctor-patient relationship is fundamental. A new report states that touch can initiate neuromodulatory effects to reduce pain and ease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers reported that the effect of touch begins with the confident handshake and extends through the physical examination, especially when the examining physician touches the spot the patient says is painful. This lets the patient know that the doctor comprehends the patient’s pain. Touch also influences treatment for manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The effect of touch cannot be negated. Your Fort Wayne chiropractor at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic 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 Fort Wayne 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 seeks to quantify just how human touch affects back pain relief. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your Fort Wayne chiropractor will embrace the effect of touch as they deliver spinal manipulation with their hands.
Fort Wayne CHIROPRACTIC TOUCH
Chiropractors depend on their sense of touch in providing the appropriate forces to the spine, forces that deliver pain relief for the back pain and neck pain patient. Experience really refines the proper force application. Today, though, technology may be helpful with this as force-feedback systems are assisting doctors achieve that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system utilized at Aaron 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 produced. “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 dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a chiropractic treatment outcome combination our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients want.
