There is
news of artificial intelligence and the future of robots
and computers in our lives, the positive effect of
human touch can’t be supplanted. Chiropractic is a
hands-on profession. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center offers hands-on Manahawkin
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 dismissed in its contribution
to healing and is not ignored by your
Manahawkin chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is
implemented beginning 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
central. A recent study states
that touch can initiate neuromodulatory effects to ease
pain and ease 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
doing the exam touches the spot
the patient indicates 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 effect of
touch cannot be refuted. Your
Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center recognizes that this is true and sees its effect every day
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 Manahawkin back pain, neck pain, arm pain,
and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher remarked
on a leading 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) Human
touch has an effect that science seeks to quantify. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your Manahawkin chiropractor
will welcome the effect of touch as they deliver
spinal manipulation with their hands.
Manahawkin CHIROPRACTIC
TOUCH
Chiropractors rely on
their sense of touch in providing the appropriate
forces to the spine, forces that provide pain relief for the back
pain and neck pain patient. Experience really refines the proper force application. Today,
though, technology may help in this area as
force-feedback systems are helping doctors gain
that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system used
at Manahawkin Chiropractic 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 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
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center are documented, gentle, and effective for reducing
pain and decreasing intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a
chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our
Manahawkin chiropractic patients seek.
