Touch is Part of Rosenberg Wellness Centers Relieving Back Pain Care
For all the discussion of artificial intelligence and the future of robots and computers in our lives, the benefit of human touch can’t be replaced. Chiropractic is a hands-on profession. Rosenberg Wellness Center delivers hands-on New York City chiropractic care. Chiropractic has a long history of valuable manual manipulation and treatment for back pain, neck pain and related extremity pain. Touch cannot be dismissed in its contribution to healing and isn’t ignored by your New York City chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is implemented beginning with the first day’s exam and extending through the entire treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the relationship between doctor and patient is important. A recent 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 starts with the confident handshake and continues through the physical examination, especially when the physician conducting the exam touches the area the patient indicates 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 effect of touch cannot be denied. Your New York City chiropractor at Rosenberg Wellness Center recognizes that this is true and sees 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 New York City 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 tries to quantify. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your New York City chiropractor will embrace the effect of touch as they deliver spinal manipulation with their hands.
New York City CHIROPRACTIC TOUCH
Chiropractors depend on their sense of touch in providing the appropriate forces to the spine, forces that provide pain relief for the back pain and neck pain patient. Experience really refines the proper force application. Today, though, technology may be helpful in this area as force-feedback systems are helping doctors acquire that key experience. With the chiropractic technique system utilized at Rosenberg Wellness Center, 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 a bonus, 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 Rosenberg Wellness Center are documented, gentle, and efficient for easing pain and decreasing intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a chiropractic treatment outcome combination our New York City chiropractic patients want.
