Commonly seen work injuries
Workplace injuries are caused by accidents (or diseases) that occur while an employee is on the job. Many occupations, including construction, law enforcement, and nursing, can be hazardous.
Surprisingly, even office work can be dangerous! Sitting in the same position for long periods of time is physically taxing, believe it or not.
If you have suffered any of the work-related injuries listed below, please contact Physio For Life.
Some of the most common workplace injuries include:
Carpal tunnel syndrome
The median nerve in the wrist is housed in the carpal tunnel. CTS can occur when this nerve becomes compressed. Compression can result from repeated movements. Typing and assembly line work are two of the most common causes of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Strains and sprains
Sprains and strains affect ligaments and tendons. Sprains and strains can result from a traumatic event, such as falling from a ladder. Repetitive motion and improper use of workplace equipment can also cause and aggravate these injuries.
Auto accidents
Is driving a vehicle a requirement of your job? If this is the case, you may sustain injuries in a car accident. Work-related automobile accidents can cause everything from minor cuts and abrasions to fractured bones and whiplash. Fortunately, physiotherapy can help with the recovery process after a car accident by reducing pain and inflammation and restoring range of motion.
Back pain
You risk injuring your back if you rotate or twist it incorrectly. This type of pain can occur after prolonged periods of inactivity, such as sitting all day at a desk. A back injury is commonly triggered if you consistently apply too much force to your back, such as when lifting heavy objects incorrectly.
Tendonitis
Tendonitis is frequently caused by repetitive movements and the overuse of specific body parts. This condition most commonly affects the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and knees. Tendonitis leads to tenderness, discomfort, and swelling.
