There is
talk of artificial intelligence and the future of robots
and computers in our lives, the benefit of
human touch cannot be replaced. Chiropractic is a
hands-on profession. Wilson Family Chiropractic delivers hands-on Millville
chiropractic care. Chiropractic has an extensive history of valuable
manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related
extremity pain. Touch can’t be ignored in its influence on healing and isn’t ignored by your
Millville chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is
set starting with day one’s exam and extending through the entire
treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the relationship between
doctor and patient is
fundamental. A recent study states
that touch can produce neuromodulatory effects to reduce
pain and ease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers
stated that the effect of touch starts with
the confident handshake and continues through the physical
examination, particularly when the physician
conducting the exam touches the spot
the patient says is painful. This lets the patient
know that the doctor comprehends
the patient’s pain. Touch also extends into treatment for
manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The impact of
touch cannot be denied. Your
Millville chiropractor at Wilson Family Chiropractic recognizes that this is 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 Millville back pain, neck pain, arm pain,
and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher remarked
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) Science seeks to quantify just how human touch affects back pain relief. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your Millville chiropractor
will embrace the effect of touch as they deliver
spinal manipulation with their hands.
Millville CHIROPRACTIC
TOUCH
Chiropractors depend 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 appropriate force application. Today,
though, technology may help in this area as
force-feedback systems are assisting doctors gain
that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system utilized
at Wilson Family Chiropractic, research has documented just what those appropriate,
pain-relieving
forces are. (3,4) Force-measuring equipment has been
created and incorporated into teaching and
daily-use chiropractic tables. (As a bonus, in doing
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
Wilson Family Chiropractic are documented, gentle, and efficient for easing
pain and decreasing intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a
chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our
Millville chiropractic patients seek.
