- Nurses, CNAs, and all healthcare providers can develop sciatica like symptoms from long hours standing, lifting, bending, and charting.
- Sciatica usually forms slowly over time before becoming severe.
- Therapeutic massage and cupping therapy can help reduce low back pain, hip tightness, and nerve irritation.
- Inspire Movements Massage Therapy is located near UCHealth Memorial Hospital and North Academy Blvd.
Often times, healthcare workers spend entire shifts on their feet. Between lifting patients, standing for hours, bending, charting, helping clients off of the floor from falls, and rushing from one room to the next, it is no surprise that so many nurses develop low back pain and sciatica like symptoms.
Many nurses wait until the pain is severe before they finally book a massage. By that point, the pain may be traveling from the low back into the hip, glute, or down the leg. Bottom line being, it is going to be more work for the both of us to find the pain relief solutions. This is where consistency comes into place!
Sciatica often starts when the muscles in the low back and hips become tight and irritated. Extended shifts, poor sleep, stress, and repetitive movement make that tension build up even more so week after week.
Common symptoms include:
- shooting pain down the leg
- tightness in the hip or glute
- aching in the low back after work
- numbness or tingling
- trouble sleeping comfortably
At Inspire Movements Massage Therapy near UCHealth Memorial Hospital, we work with many nurses, CNAs, physician assistants, desk workers, and healthcare workers who need real results customized to them exclusively.
Your sessions include:
- therapeutic ashiatsu massage for the low back and hips
- cupping therapy to bring deeper tension closer to the surface
- focused work on the glutes, piriformis, hip flexors, and low back
- a plan for how often to come in so the pain does not keep returning
For many healthcare workers, a 90-minute session is the best place to start. If your pain has been building for months or years, a 2-hour session may allow enough time to address the low back, hips, neck, and shoulders together. Red light may be just what the body needs to find the next level of pain relief.
Busy parents and healthcare workers often put themselves last as they care for all others day in and day out. But when you, you yourself are in pain, everything becomes harder and that is the last thing that we want to have happen.
We are conveniently located off North Academy Blvd and Kelly Johnson Blvd, close to UCHealth Memorial Hospital, Briargate Parkway, and Chapel Hills Mall.
