For Nurses, Caregivers & Healthcare Workers · Romeoville, IL
Chiropractic Care for Nurses, Caregivers, and Healthcare Workers
You spend your workday taking care of other people. Lifting, repositioning, standing, and long shifts leave little time to think about your own comfort — we're here for that part.
600 S Weber Rd, Suite 9A, Romeoville, IL 60446
Nurses, CNAs, home health workers, senior living staff, patient transport and rehab support teams — direct care is physical work. Transfers, repositioning, long hours on your feet, repetitive bending, and shifts that rarely slow down all place real demands on the body, and it’s easy to put your own soreness last on the list.
Ignoring it doesn’t make the next shift easier. KOAH Chiropractic helps nurses, caregivers, and other healthcare professionals address pain, stiffness, and mobility concerns close to home in Romeoville — and close to work for those at facilities across Joliet, Bolingbrook, Lockport, and Plainfield.
We know the work
What Caregiving Asks of Your Body
Patient transfers and lifts
Helping people move between beds, chairs, and equipment is some of the heaviest lifting in any profession — and it rarely happens in an ideal position.
Repositioning
Boosting, turning, and supporting patients loads the back and shoulders in sustained, awkward postures.
Long hours on your feet
10- and 12-hour shifts of standing and fast walking add up on the back, hips, and knees.
Repetitive bending
Bedside care means bending to work at bed height, over and over, all shift long.
Moving fast between tasks
Sudden pivots, reaching, and hurrying — the pace rarely leaves time to move carefully.
No time for yourself
Breaks get skipped and soreness gets ignored, because someone else always needs you first.
How KOAH Helps
Dr. Kenneth Ellul — a Palmer College of Chiropractic graduate and U.S. Navy veteran — starts with a real assessment: posture, spinal alignment, range of motion, and the specific movements your job repeats. As a healthcare professional yourself, you’ll recognize the approach — evaluate first, explain findings plainly, and recommend care only when it fits.
Care may include chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy for the back and shoulder tension that transfers create, and spinal decompression when disc-related pain is involved. The most common concerns we see from caregivers: lower back pain from lifting and repositioning, sciatica, neck tension, and headaches after long shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can chiropractic care help with back soreness from patient transfers?
Often, yes. Transfers and repositioning are among the most physically demanding tasks in healthcare, and the lower back usually absorbs the load. Chiropractic care addresses the alignment and movement issues behind that recurring soreness. Dr. Ellul evaluates your specific situation honestly before recommending anything.
Can I schedule around 12-hour shifts?
We do our best to work with healthcare schedules — morning appointments from 8 AM, afternoons until 6 PM most weekdays, and same-week openings are usually available. Call (815) 293-3000 and tell us your shift pattern; we’ll find a time.
How quickly can I be seen?
Same-week appointments are usually available, and the fastest way to schedule is a phone call. Your first visit is a complete exam — consultation, physical assessment, and X-rays if needed — and your second visit is the report of findings, where you get clear answers and, if you’re ready, your first adjustment.
Will my insurance cover care?
KOAH accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, and Aetna. Coverage varies by your specific plan — call and our billing specialist will verify your benefits for you, in English or Spanish.
