There is talk of artificial intelligence and the future of robots and computers in our lives, the positive effect of human touch cannot be replaced. Chiropractic is a hands-on profession. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office offers hands-on Groton chiropractic care.

Touch can’t be dismissed in its impact on healing and is not ignored by your Groton 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 central. A recent report states that touch can produce 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, especially when the physician conducting 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 extends into treatment for manual and manipulative treating physicians. (1) The effect of touch cannot be denied. Your Groton chiropractor at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office recognizes that this is true and sees its effect every day 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 Groton 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 seeks to quantify. Until then, chiropractic physicians like your Groton chiropractor will welcome the effect of touch as they provide spinal manipulation with their hands.

It takes experience to really refine the appropriate force application.

With the chiropractic technique system utilized at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office, research has reported just what those proper, pain-relieving forces are. (3,4) Force-measuring equipment has been developed 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 Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office are documented, gentle, and effective for relieving pain and dropping intradiscal pressures (7,8).
