There’s
talk 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. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre delivers hands-on Toronto
chiropractic care. Chiropractic has an extensive history of valuable
manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related
extremity pain. Touch can’t be ignored in its influence on healing and isn’t ignored by your
Toronto chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is
established beginning with day one’s exam and throughout the whole
treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the doctor-patient relationship is
important. A new report states
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 indicates is painful. This confirms to the patient that the doctor understands
the patient’s pain. Touch also extends into treatment for
manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The impact of
touch cannot be refuted. Your
Toronto chiropractor at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre recognizes that this is true and sees its effect every day
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 Toronto back pain, neck pain, arm pain,
and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher commented
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 Toronto chiropractor
will welcome the effect of touch as they deliver
spinal manipulation with their hands.
Toronto CHIROPRACTIC
TOUCH
Chiropractors rely on
their sense of touch in delivering the appropriate
forces to the spine, forces that provide 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 acquire
that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system utilized
at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, research has reported just what those proper,
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 performing
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
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre are documented, gentle, and effective for easing
pain and dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a
chiropractic treatment outcome combination our
Toronto chiropractic patients want.
