There’s
discussion of artificial intelligence and the future of robots
and computers in our lives, the beneficial effect of
human touch can’t be supplanted. Chiropractic is a
hands-on profession. Chiropractic Solutions offers hands-on San Jose
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 influence on healing and isn’t ignored by your
San Jose chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is
implemented beginning with the first
day’s exam and throughout the entire
treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the relationship between
doctor and patient is
important. A new study documents
that touch can initiate neuromodulatory effects to ease
pain and reduce}decrease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers
stated that the effect of touch begins with
the confident handshake and continues through the physical
examination, especially when the examining physician touches the area
the patient explains 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 effect of
touch cannot be negated. Your
San Jose chiropractor at Chiropractic Solutions recognizes that this is true and witnesses its effect every day
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 San Jose 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) Human
touch has an effect that science seeks to quantify. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your San Jose chiropractor
will embrace the effect of touch as they provide
spinal manipulation with their hands.
San Jose CHIROPRACTIC
TOUCH
Chiropractors rely 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. It takes experience to
really refine the appropriate force application. Today,
though, technology may help in this area as
force-feedback systems are helping doctors acquire
that key experience. With the chiropractic technique system utilized
at Chiropractic Solutions, research has reported just what those proper,
pain-relieving
forces are. (3,4) Force-measuring equipment has been
developed and integrated into teaching and
daily-use chiropractic tables. (As a bonus, in doing
the research study to test forces with patients, no serious
adverse effects were produced. “First, do no
harm.”) (5,6) The Cox® Technic flexion distraction procedures used at
Chiropractic Solutions are documented, gentle, and efficient for relieving
pain and decreasing intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a
chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our
San Jose chiropractic patients want.
