Typical work injuries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Accidents (or diseases) that occur while an employee is on the job are workplace injuries. Many occupations, including construction, law enforcement, and nursing, can be hazardous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, even office workers can face injury on the job! Sitting in the same position for extended periods of time is physically taxing, believe it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have suffered any of the work-related injuries listed below, please contact Bethesda Physical Therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following are some of the most common workplace injuries:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n
Carpal tunnel syndrome<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

The median nerve in the wrist is located 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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Strains and sprains<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

Sprains and strains have an impact on the tendons and ligaments. A traumatic event, such as falling from a ladder, can cause sprains and strains. Repetitive motion can cause these injuries. Improper use of workplace equipment can worsen sprains and strains.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Auto accidents<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

Do your job require you to operate a vehicle? If so, it’s possible you may be injured in a car accident. Injuries from work-related automobile accidents can range from minor cuts and abrasions to fractured bones and whiplash. Fortunately, physical therapy can help you recover from a car accident by reducing pain and inflammation and restoring range of motion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Back pain<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

You could injure your back if you rotate or twist it incorrectly. This type of pain occurs after prolonged periods of inactivity, such as sitting all day at a desk. A back injury can also occur if you apply too much force to your back, such as lifting heavy objects incorrectly on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tendinitis<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

Repetitive movements and overuse of specific body parts cause tendonitis. The elbows, shoulders, and knees are the most commonly affected joints by this condition. Tendonitis is characterized by tenderness, discomfort, and swelling.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
