Answer by SethSpeaks
Well it depends on the source of the pain, and whether it can eventually be resolved or not. One of the things they use a lot especially with back pain is an electronic stimulator. In the case of intractable pain, they may use a pain pump that utilizes morphine or other strong drugs, but they stay away from that in all but the worst of cases like crushed vertebra or other extreme circumstances.

What Can I Do With An Ekg Certification Besides Nursing?

I tried nursing but failed miserably so I got a health studies degree instead. I am a certified pharmacy technician at CVS.
So now I am wondering where to go from here. I am great with computers but I would prefer to stay on my feet and mobile. I will start the physical therapy assistant program in the fall and I am on the waiting list for radiology technologist which was what I really wanted to do. I have all of the prereq’s for both.
I am debating if I should take a fast ekg course and just wait for radiology instead. But I also run into the problem that the job market for rad techs is horrible. I love human anatomy and I am turning 23 this summer so I don’t want to wait forever for a decent job. Any advise would be great. Thank you!
