Paramedics and EMTs like you have a greater chance of experiencing back, knee and joint pain caused from a physically demanding job. During your shift, you’re often required to lift, carry and move heavy equipment and even people, which puts a lot of strain on your body, increasing the wear and tear on your joints and ligaments. With so much demand put on your body, there’s a good chance you’ve had to deal with the pain and just keep on going because the job doesn’t stop just because you hurt.
One of the biggest pain points for more paramedics and EMTs is back pain. Between constantly lifting, being bent over in an ambulance or while treating a patient, this can create strain, misalignments and more which all lead to pain.
Knee pain is another pain point that is common for paramedics and EMTs. Dealing with different terrains, walking with heavy equipment & lifting people, all takes a toll on your body. Most paramedics and EMTs will experience sprains, tears and increased degradation in their knees due to the demands of the job.
Additionally, overall joint pain caused by repetitious movements and actions are another common cause of pain for paramedics and EMTs. Between moving heavy equipment, doing repetitive tasks and more, your joints can degrade over time which makes them more susceptible to injury that can cause you pain.
In your line of work, you can’t just stop because you hurt. That’s why it’s important to address the root cause of your pain and treat it instead of masking the symptoms with harmful drugs which can even lead to expensive surgeries with long recovery times. At Advanced Pain Solutions, we understand the need to be at the top of your game while taking care of your pain, which is why we’ve developed proprietary protocols aimed to help alleviate your pain points quickly while helping strengthen and prevent recurring issues.
