Touch is Part of Vancouver Disc Centerss Relieving Back Pain Care
There’s talk of artificial intelligence and the future of robots and computers in our lives, the positive effect of human touch can’t be supplanted. Chiropractic is a hands-on profession. Vancouver Disc Centers offers hands-on Vancouver 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 impact on healing and is not ignored by your Vancouver chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is set beginning with the first day’s exam and throughout the whole treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the relationship between doctor and patient is central. A recent report documents that touch can produce neuromodulatory effects to ease pain and reduce}decrease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers wrote that the effect of touch starts with the confident handshake and continues through the physical examination, particularly when the examining physician touches the area the patient indicates is painful. This lets the patient know that the doctor understands the patient’s pain. Touch also influences treatment for manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The impact of touch cannot be denied. Your Vancouver chiropractor at Vancouver Disc Centers 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 Vancouver 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) Science seeks to quantify just how human touch affects back pain relief. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your Vancouver chiropractor will embrace the effect of touch as they deliver spinal manipulation with their hands.
Vancouver CHIROPRACTIC TOUCH
Chiropractors depend 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. Experience really refines the appropriate force application. Today, though, technology may be helpful with this as force-feedback systems are assisting doctors gain that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system used at Vancouver Disc Centers, research has documented 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 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 Vancouver Disc Centers are documented, gentle, and effective for easing pain and decreasing intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a chiropractic treatment outcome combination our Vancouver chiropractic patients seek.
