For all the
discussion 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. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic offers hands-on Montreal
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 impact on healing and is not ignored by your
Montreal chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is
set beginning with day one’s exam and throughout the whole
treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the relationship between
doctor and patient is
fundamental. A recent report documents
that touch can initiate neuromodulatory effects to ease
pain and reduce}decrease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers
reported that the effect of touch begins with
the confident handshake and continues through the physical
examination, especially when the physician
doing the exam touches the spot
the patient says is painful. This confirms to the patient that the doctor gets
the patient’s pain. Touch also influences treatment for
manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The effect of
touch can’t be refuted. Your
Montreal chiropractor at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic recognizes that this is true and sees its effect daily
and is happy to see its importance discussed in
the medical literature for manual therapy’s beneficial role in the health care
system for conditions like Montreal back pain, neck pain, arm pain,
and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher remarked
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) Human
touch has an effect that science tries to quantify. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your Montreal chiropractor
will embrace the effect of touch as they deliver
spinal manipulation with their hands.
Montreal CHIROPRACTIC
TOUCH
Chiropractors rely on
their sense of touch in delivering 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 gain
that key experience. With the chiropractic technique system utilized
at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic, 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 an extra, in doing
the research study to assess forces with patients, no serious
adverse effects were documented. “First, do no
harm.”) (5,6) The Cox® Technic flexion distraction procedures used at
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic are documented, gentle, and efficient for relieving
pain and decreasing intradiscal pressures (7,8). That is a
chiropractic treatment outcome combination our
Montreal chiropractic patients seek.
