There is
news 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. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office offers hands-on Groton
chiropractic care. Chiropractic has a long history of valuable
manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related
extremity pain. Touch can’t be dismissed in its influence on healing and is not ignored by your
Groton chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is
established starting 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 report shares
that touch can initiate neuromodulatory effects to reduce
pain and ease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers
reported 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 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 impact of
touch cannot be negated. Your
Groton chiropractor at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office knows
this to be 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 Groton 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 that
is done, chiropractic physicians like your Groton chiropractor
will embrace the effect of touch as they provide
spinal manipulation with their hands.
Groton CHIROPRACTIC
TOUCH
Chiropractors rely on
their sense of touch in delivering 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 proper force application. Today,
though, technology may be helpful with this as
force-feedback systems are assisting doctors acquire
that key experience. With the chiropractic technique system utilized
at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office, 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 doing
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
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office are documented, gentle, and effective for easing
pain and dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a
chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our
Groton chiropractic patients want.
