There’s news of artificial intelligence and the future of robots and computers in our lives, the benefit of human touch cannot be supplanted. Chiropractic is a hands-on profession. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries delivers hands-on Manchester 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 Manchester chiropractor as your pain-relieving treatment plan is set beginning with day one’s exam and throughout the entire treatment process.
TOUCH IN THE DOCTOR PATIENT REALM
Touch in the doctor-patient relationship is fundamental. A new study documents that touch can initiate neuromodulatory effects to ease pain and reduce}decrease patient anxiety about the pain. Researchers wrote that the effect of touch starts with the confident handshake and continues through the physical examination, particularly when the examining physician touches the spot the patient explains 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 effect of touch can’t be refuted. Your Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries knows this to be true and sees its effect every day and is pleased to see its importance presented in the medical literature for manual therapy’s beneficial role in the health care system for conditions like Manchester back pain, neck pain, arm pain, and sciatic leg pain.
EFFECT OF TOUCH
A researcher remarked on a leading 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 seeks to quantify. Until that is done, chiropractic physicians like your Manchester chiropractor will welcome the effect of touch as they provide spinal manipulation with their hands.
Manchester CHIROPRACTIC TOUCH

With the chiropractic technique system utilized at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries, 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.
