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. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center offers hands-on Pensacola
chiropractic care. Chiropractic has a long history of effective
manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related
extremity pain. Touch can’t be ignored in its contribution
to healing and is not ignored by your
Pensacola chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is
set beginning with day one’s exam and extending through the whole
treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the relationship between
doctor and patient is
important. A new study shares
that touch can produce neuromodulatory effects to ease
pain and ease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers
wrote that the effect of touch starts with
the confident handshake and extends through the physical
examination, particularly when the physician
doing the exam touches the spot
the patient indicates 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
Pensacola chiropractor at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center recognizes that this is 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 Pensacola 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 Pensacola chiropractor
will embrace the effect of touch as they deliver
spinal manipulation with their hands.

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. It takes experience to
really refine the proper force application. Today,
though, technology may help in this area as
force-feedback systems are assisting doctors gain
that key experience. With the chiropractic technique system used
at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center, research has documented 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 an extra, in performing
the research study to test forces with patients, no serious
adverse effects were produced. “First, do no
harm.”) (5,6) The Cox® Technic flexion distraction procedures used at
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center are documented, gentle, and effective for easing
pain and decreasing intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a
chiropractic treatment outcome combination our
Pensacola chiropractic patients want.
