Back or neck pain is one of the most common forms of injuries, so it should
not come as a shock that it is common among firefighters, too. The physical
demands, coupled with previous injuries, and unhealthy habits will not only
hinder a firefighter’s performance on the job, but can lead to an early
retirement.

It’s a tough job
As a firefighter, for a 24-hour period, if you’re not working, then you’re sitting
and waiting to work. Whether it’s the zero-to-100mph within seconds or
the sedentary bouts between things hitting the fan, an unhealthy back is
a recipe for disaster. You can experience back pain when lifting a tool,
patient, or dragging a hose line - or simply when you’ve been sitting too
long and a prior strain kicks in.
The best thing a firefighter can do to avoid back pain is to prevent it from
happening to begin with. Easier said than done though, so if you are in
pain, or even if you like to keep an eye on your state of health, then a visit
to a Chiropractor is an absolute must.

What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a philosophy, art and science of natural healing
It is the most popular, fastest growing health care system in the world.
• Promotes a healthy, drug free lifestyle
• Offers you a real alternative to drugs and surgery
• Optimises your natural healing ability
Chiropractic is the third largest healthcare profession, after
conventional and dental medicine. Chiropractic focuses on the
integrity of the nervous system and the body’s ability to heal
itself. In a natural, non-surgical approach, the chiropractor
manipulates the joints in the spine and extremities. This allows
optimal transmission of nerve signals in the body and the result is
optimal health.
How can it help you?
Chiropractic doesn’t treat back pain or neck pain or other conditions.
Chiropractic helps the body to heal itself! When the nervous system function
improves – the pain subsides, naturally.
Chiropractic can help you in so many ways, to get the best out of your life,
and feel healthy and strong. Something not just essential for your career but
for your home life.
