Touch - Touch matters.

Manipulation and touch
These methods use human touch to move or manipulate a specific part of your body. A chiropractor, for instance, will manipulate your spine using her or his hands. And a massage therapist will use her or his hands to massage your sore muscles.

Chiropractors use a hands-on type of adjustment called spinal manipulation. Most people visit chiropractors for back pain. According to chiropractic theory, misaligned vertebrae can restrict your spine's range of motion and affect the nerves radiating from your spine. In turn, the organs that depend on those nerves may function improperly or become diseased. Chiropractic adjustments aim to realign your vertebrae, restore range of motion and free up your nerve pathways.

Your chiropractor may ask you questions about your pain and examine your spine. This helps her or him decide where your spine needs manipulation. To manipulate your spine, your chiropractor puts pressure on your back using her or his hands. You'll feel a pinching sensation and sometimes hear a popping noise, which is normal. You'll usually have your spine manipulated two to five times a week for the first couple of weeks and fewer times a week after that until your pain goes away.


Chiropractic treatment: How spinal manipulation can reduce back pain
Osteopathy uses manipulation to treat problems with your bones and muscles. Doctors of osteopathy (osteopath or D.O.) undergo training that is largely the same as that of conventional doctors, but with additional training and emphasis on using manipulation. Osteopathic manipulations are much like chiropractic manipulations. An osteopathic doctor uses his or her hands to feel the area where you're experiencing pain. He or she might move your arm, leg, neck or other body part to see if your range of motion is reduced. The adjustment can vary — at least 30 different types of adjustment are practiced. An osteopathic doctor might apply pressure to your affected area, and you'll feel a pinching sensation or hear a popping sound. In other manipulations, an osteopathic doctor might hold your arm, leg or affected body part in place or move it back and forth in a precise manner. It might seem like nothing is happening when he or she does this, but after a few treatments you should begin to notice a difference in how you feel.

Massage involves the kneading, stroking and manipulation of your body's soft tissues — your skin, muscles and tendons. It's used to relieve muscle tension and stress and promote relaxation. Your massage will vary depending on the rhythm, rate, pressure and direction of these movements. A Swedish massage uses long, gliding strokes to promote relaxation and improve your circulation. A deep tissue massage uses slow strokes, but more pressure than a Swedish massage, to reach deeper layers of your muscle. During most massages, you'll need to take off your clothes and lie down on a padded table, though some massages can be done in a chair with your clothes on. Most massages last 30 minutes to an hour. About 100 different varieties of massage exist, and your doctor or massage therapist can help you decide which is best for you.
