Touch is Part of Arctic Chiropractic, Sitkas Relieving Back Pain Care
For all the news of artificial intelligence and the future of robots and computers in our lives, the positive effect of human touch cannot be replaced. Chiropractic is a hands-on profession. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka offers hands-on Sitka chiropractic care. Chiropractic has an extensive history of valuable manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related extremity pain. Touch cannot be ignored in its contribution to healing and isn’t ignored by your Sitka chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is established 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 fundamental. A recent report documents that touch can produce neuromodulatory effects to reduce pain and reduce}decrease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers stated that the effect of touch starts with the confident handshake and extends through the physical examination, especially when the examining physician 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 can’t be negated. Your Sitka chiropractor at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka knows this to be true and sees its effect daily 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 Sitka back pain, neck pain, arm pain, and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher remarked 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 tries to quantify just how human touch affects back pain relief. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your Sitka chiropractor will welcome the effect of touch as they provide spinal manipulation with their hands.
Sitka 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 be helpful in this area as force-feedback systems are helping doctors acquire that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system used at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka, 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 an extra, 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 Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka are documented, gentle, and efficient for easing pain and dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our Sitka chiropractic patients want.
