Studying "Health Sciences" is no longer a dream!!
Breaking down how to pursue "Health Sciences" in Australia!
The three major fields include: Chiropractic | Podiatry | Nursing
Chiropractic
Chiropractic differs from Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine. According to the World Health Organization, it is a discipline focused on the independent diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. By using manual techniques or equipment to correct the body's musculoskeletal system, it is particularly effective in alleviating lower back pain and spinal issues, helping to restore patients' health.
Podiatry
Podiatry is the specialty of foot care, providing comprehensive treatment services for patients. Podiatrists perform examinations and diagnoses, using various medical equipment to promote foot recovery. The treatment aims to relieve pain in affected areas and improve patients' mobility, enhancing their quality of life.
Nursing
Nursing is a healthcare profession dedicated to providing quality care to patients and promoting public health. In certain countries abroad, nurses can be responsible for diagnosing health issues and prescribing medications and treatment plans. General nursing programs cover biological and behavioral sciences, health maintenance and promotion, nursing research, and information technology, while also including practical internships for students to gain experience.
