What work injury do I have?
There are various injuries that occur on the job. However, the 5 most common include:
Sprains and strains
Sprains affect the ligaments in your body while strains affect the tendons. Both occur when stretched past their limitations. Sudden trauma, repetitive motions, and improper use of equipment are also the cause of a sprain or strain.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
When the median nerve in the wrist becomes compressed, carpal tunnel syndrome occurs. This typically happens as a result of repetitive motions, such as assembly line work or excessive typing. According to Harvard Health, it is necessary to seek treatment for this condition as soon as possible, in order to avoid long-term nerve damage.
Tendinitis
Excessive repetitive movements of the same body part(s) can cause tendinitis to develop. Symptoms typically include pain, swelling, and tenderness. This condition most commonly occurs in the shoulders, elbows, and knees.
Back pain
The most commonly reported source of pain is back pain. Back injuries are typically caused by rotating or twisting your back the wrong way. This can develop from several work-related activities, such as sitting at a desk for the entire workday, putting too much force on your back, or repeatedly lifting heavy items.
Auto accidents
There is always a risk of sustaining an injury from an automobile accident if you work in a job that requires the use of a vehicle. Work-related auto accidents can result in injuries ranging from mild cuts and abrasions to broken bones and severe whiplash.
What exactly is a work injury?
Any injury, ailment, or illness that is sustained while an employee is on the job is considered a work injury. Some occupations are at a higher risk of sustaining a work injury than others, especially if the environment is dangerous. For example, the fields of police work, nursing, and construction often obtain an increased risk of work-related injuries. However, even jobs that may not seem dangerous on the surface can still lead to pain or injury.
Office jobs can lead to harmful injuries in certain circumstances. For example: Sitting in the same position for prolonged periods of time can take a toll on your body. Those who have occupations in offices or factories are also commonly prone to repetitive motion injuries. Seek help immediately as soon as the injury occurs at work! Any injury left untreated can become more severe over time. According to MoveForwardPT, physical therapy is the most cost-effective option for treating a work injury.
