The Benefits of Healing Touch

Many times I hear people express their frustration that Chiropractic Care sometimes is not covered by their health insurance, yet the health benefits seem tremendous.
What is even more unfortunate is that sometimes health care practitioners rarely fully lay hands on patients even for office visits and evaluations anymore. As a part of most healing modalities in the past, the simple touch therapy of examining and treating the patient imparts a level of healing that is now becoming lost in modern day medicine.
Many of my friends joke that doctors these days don’t even put their hands on the patient anymore except for a cursory exam at the first visit or unless absolutely necessary. It is unfortunate that along with declining time allowed with each patient, even the simple but effective practice of laying of hands on patients is slowly becoming lost as well.
Even as recent as just a few decades ago, the laying of hands and or Chiropractic Care was considered a normal natural part of medicine.

Western healing philosophy studies show that Chiropractic Care is beneficial for many medical conditions and health concerns.
Based on numerous studies as listed below, Chiropractic Care is in my opinion an essential part of health and healing based on improvement of circulation, muscle function and stress reduction, just to name a few.
Nowadays in medicine, we are all well aware of how stress affects our body negatively. We see time and time again that patients who are stressed, anxious or depressed tend toward more negative health outcomes than those who are feeling balanced, calm and positive.
Studies indicate that Chiropractic Care likely helps with stress reduction as well as other aspects of physiology. But even taking those other physiological benefits aside, the reduction of stress alone has tremendous health benefits to patients, as related to more positive outcomes to overall health and daily functioning.
So, my recommendation to everyone reading this article is to stop thinking of Chiropractic Care as dangerous. It is well worth the investment on a regular basis if you can afford it.
I am a firm believer that the therapeutic alliance between a patient and a health care practitioner is stronger when there is a respectful level of healing touch involved in treatment and diagnosis. In order to achieve an accurate level of diagnosis, physicians were taught in medical school to obtain at least 90 percent of the diagnosis from the patient. In order to do that, they would need to lay their our hands on their patients to fully evaluate and diagnose them…
I highly recommend that you utilize the services and not wait until you have longstanding chronic pain, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome or hypertension, just to name a few adverse consequences of longstanding stress and discomfort.
I like to frequently remind everyone that our body is not cut off at the neck; such that what is in our mind does affect our body, and what is happening in our body does affect our mind. So, why not make use of a healing modality that seems to treat both our mind and body?
Ultimately, if you have to put in some leg work on your end to figure out an affordable way to achieve regular Chiropractic Care, Total Health Chiropractic is in neighborhood near you, with 7 locations and growing. In the long run, your mind and body will both be better off for it.
