Touch is Part of Amelia Chiropractic Clinics Relieving Back Pain Care

November 10, 2020

There’s talk of artificial intelligence and the future of robots and computers in our lives, the benefit of human touch can’t be replaced. Chiropractic is a hands-on profession. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic delivers hands-on Fernandina Beach 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 dismissed in its influence on healing and isn’t ignored by your Fernandina Beach chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is established starting with the first day’s exam and extending through the entire treatment process.

TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM

Touch in the doctor-patient relationship is important. A recent report shares that touch can initiate neuromodulatory effects to ease pain and ease 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 physician doing the exam touches the spot the patient says is painful. This confirms to the patient that the doctor comprehends the patient’s pain. Touch also influences treatment for manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The impact of touch can’t be negated. Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows this to be true and witnesses 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 Fernandina Beach back pain, neck pain, arm pain, and sciatic leg pain.

EFFECT OF TOUCH

A researcher commented 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 tries to quantify just how human touch affects back pain relief. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your Fernandina Beach chiropractor will embrace the effect of touch as they provide spinal manipulation with their hands.

Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC TOUCH

Chiropractors rely 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 in this area as force-feedback systems are assisting doctors acquire that key experience. With the chiropractic technique system used at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic, research has reported 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 an extra, in doing the research study to assess forces with patients, no serious adverse effects were found. “First, do no harm.”)  (5,6) The Cox® Technic flexion distraction procedures used at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic are documented, gentle, and effective for reducing pain and dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients seek.
