There’s
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. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR offers hands-on Colorado Springs
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 is not ignored by your
Colorado Springs chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is
set beginning with day one’s exam and throughout the whole
treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the relationship between
doctor and patient is
important. A new report states
that touch can produce neuromodulatory effects to reduce
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, especially when the examining physician touches the area
the patient explains is painful. This confirms to the patient that the doctor understands
the patient’s pain. Touch also influences treatment for
manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The effect of
touch can’t be denied. Your
Colorado Springs chiropractor at The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR recognizes that this is true and sees 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 Colorado Springs 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 Colorado Springs chiropractor
will welcome the effect of touch as they provide
spinal manipulation with their hands.
Colorado Springs CHIROPRACTIC
TOUCH
Chiropractors depend on
their sense of touch in delivering the proper
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 be helpful with this as
force-feedback systems are helping doctors achieve
that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system used
at The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR, research has documented just what those appropriate,
pain-relieving
forces are. (3,4) Force-measuring equipment has been
created and integrated into teaching and
daily-use chiropractic tables. (As an extra, 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
The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR are documented, gentle, and effective for easing
pain and dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a
chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our
Colorado Springs chiropractic patients seek.
