Touch is Part of Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburns Relieving Back Pain Care
For all the 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. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn delivers hands-on Ashburn and Herndon 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 ignored in its influence on healing and isn’t ignored by your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is set starting with day one’s exam and throughout the entire treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the doctor-patient relationship is central. A new report states that touch can initiate neuromodulatory effects to ease pain and ease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers wrote that the effect of touch begins with the confident handshake and continues through the physical examination, particularly when the examining physician touches the area the patient says is painful. This confirms to the patient that the doctor comprehends the patient’s pain. Touch also extends into treatment for manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The impact of touch can’t be denied. Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn knows this to be true and sees its effect daily and is happy to see its importance presented in the medical literature for manual therapy’s beneficial role in the health care system for conditions like Ashburn and Herndon back pain, neck pain, arm pain, and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher remarked on an influential 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) Human touch has an effect that science tries to quantify. Until that is done, chiropractic physicians like your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor will welcome the effect of touch as they deliver spinal manipulation with their hands.
Ashburn and Herndon 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. Experience really refines the appropriate force application. Today, though, technology may be helpful in this area as force-feedback systems are helping doctors acquire that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system used at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn, research has reported 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 a bonus, 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 Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn are documented, gentle, and efficient for easing pain and dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients seek.
