Nurses provide love, care, empathy and dependability for many
of their patients. While they are constantly on their feet for extended periods
of time, working quickly to serve as many individuals in need as possible
throughout their day in an environment where in a moment notice, a circumstance
could leave no room for error, the job of a nurse can be very demanding and
they have to be ready when others need them, regardless of how they feel.
Because many healthcare jobs can be very demanding, always working
at peak performance is essential. From a rush into the emergency room to a
simple clinical visit, most patients are assisted by healthcare workers even before
seeing the doctor, including being the first ones to be exposed to infections
and viruses. Getting sick is not an option and nurses need a healthy and strong
immune system to stay well and do their job.
Benefits of Chiropractic on the Spine
The human body is designed to remain healthy. When the
immune system is functioning to its fullest capacity, it’s intended to fight
off, hunt down and destroy foreign organisms and viruses. But, if the immune
system is functioning at less than its best, the individual’s health is at risk
and as a health professional, so are those individuals that depend on their
care. By incorporating chiropractic into your lifestyle, one can learn a
healthy new habit for improving and achieving the maximum potential of overall
wellness.
Everyday healthcare job activities, such as sitting,
standing, bending, reaching, and lifting, can add pressure and cause stress to
the spine and extremities. This added stress can lead to joint restrictions,
also referred to as joint dysfunctions or subluxations, without the individual
ever knowing of their presence. When the joints of the spine become stiff,
limiting a person’s mobility, the rest of the body can in turn be affected.
Normal nerve transmissions can become interrupted and the immune system
suffers, altering your health, lifestyle, and ultimately affecting your job.
Symptoms including pain and discomfort can usually suggest an underlying injury
or condition and masking the symptoms will only provide temporary relief that
could lead to further complications if left untreated.
When a single or multiple joints become restricted on the
spine, it can decrease an individuals natural range of motion as well as cause
an interruption of the nerve communications between the brain and the body if
there is a compression of the nerves in the spine. This interruption can affect
the cells, tissues, and organs of the body which can generally inhibit the
structure’s ability to fight off illness. Doctors of chiropractic, also
referred to as DCs or chiropractors, apply a gentle and focused series of
manual manipulations and spinal adjustments to improve the mobility of the
restricted joints on the spine and extremities, enhancing nerve function.
As a nurse, its important to maintain the health and
strength it takes to perform essential roles throughout a busy workday,
especially to help others in need. Chiropractic adjustments are highly
controlled procedures that carefully use gentle pressure and force to gradually
improve the condition of many individuals experiencing pain and discomfort,
including nurses and other healthcare workers. Regular chiropractic adjustments
have been shown to produce reparative and preventative benefits even helping to
reduce muscle tension that frequently produce stress-related conditions. Chiropractic
care is widely recognized as one of the safest, drug-free and non-invasive
forms of healthcare available. More and more nurses are currently benefiting from
routine chiropractic treatment and they are learning to find relief from their
pain while maintaining a pathway to wellness as well as a healthier, more active
lifestyle with chiropractic.
