Touch is Part of Hollstrom & Associates Incs Relieving Back Pain Care
For all the talk of artificial intelligence and the future of robots and computers in our lives, the beneficial effect of human touch can’t be supplanted. Chiropractic is a hands-on profession. Hollstrom & Associates Inc delivers hands-on Largo 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 contribution to healing and is not ignored by your Largo 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 doctor-patient relationship is central. A new report shares 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 extends 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 gets the patient’s pain. Touch also extends into treatment for manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The effect of touch cannot be negated. Your Largo chiropractor at Hollstrom & Associates Inc recognizes that this is true and sees its effect every day 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 Largo back pain, neck pain, arm pain, and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher commented on a leading 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 Largo chiropractor will embrace the effect of touch as they provide spinal manipulation with their hands.
Largo 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 with this as force-feedback systems are helping doctors acquire that vital experience. With the chiropractic technique system used at Hollstrom & Associates Inc, research has documented just what those proper, pain-relieving forces are. (3,4) Force-measuring equipment has been developed and incorporated 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 produced. “First, do no harm.”) (5,6) The Cox® Technic flexion distraction procedures used at Hollstrom & Associates Inc are documented, gentle, and efficient for reducing pain and decreasing intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a chiropractic treatment outcome arrangement our Largo chiropractic patients want.
