Common injuries experienced at work

Several factors can cause various types of work injuries. Some of the most occurring injuries include the following;

Back pain

Back pain is very common at work. Various factors or activities at work can cause it. An extended period of inactivity, such as sitting at a desk throughout working hours, can cause back pain. Also, back pain can happen when lots of force impacts your back due to the frequent lifting of heavy objects at work.

Tendinitis

Tendinitis occurs when the tendons become inflamed and hypersensitive due to excessive overloading on them. When such a condition happens, a patient experiences symptoms like pain, tenderness, and swelling around the body. However, it mostly affects the shoulder, elbows, and knees. Through orthopedic, sports physiotherapy, and massage therapy, it can be corrected.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Canal tunnel helps to protect the median nerve located in your wrist and tendons used to bend your fingers. When the median nerve gets compressed, the tunnel becomes strangled. It is associated with varieties of symptoms like pain in the wrist and hand, swelling in the fingers and hands, numbness and tingling in the thumb, 1st, and 2nd fingers, Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs due to injury or repetitive job-related use such as keyboard-heavy work, driving of heavy-duty machines, or assembly-line work. When a patient is discovered to have this syndrome, a special therapy session is designed, which may include stretching and light exercises to strengthen muscles at the wrist and hand.

Auto Accidents

If work in an automobile company or the nature of your job requires the use of a vehicle, there is always a high risk of automobile accident injury. Work-related auto accident injuries can range from mild cuts and abrasions to severe and critical cases like fractures and whiplash. Orthopedic, sports physiotherapy and massage therapy can assist in helping you recover from pain and inflammation in an automobile accident and improve your motion range.

Sprains and strains

This usually affects musculoskeletal systems such as ligaments and tendons. It can be developed from trauma like falling from a high spot or repetitive motions. Also, improper handling of machinery or equipment can result in sprains and strains. Through WCB Physiotherapy Edmonton at Momentum Spine and Sports Physiotherapy Clinic, injured muscles, ligaments, and tendon inciting pain and dysfunction can be treated effectively. We also use trigger point physical therapy in Edmonton to cure your sprains and strains.
