Common workplace injuries
Work-related injuries happen frequently—approximately three million annually. While some jobs have higher risks, injuries can affect workers across all professions.
Physical roles like construction have higher injury rates, but office workers also commonly face issues like overuse injuries. Less physically demanding jobs, such as teaching or desk work, often lead to repetitive strain injuries, while manual labor may result in sudden trauma. Everyone is at risk.
If you have a work injury, contact APEX Physical Therapy to help you recover and get back to your daily routine.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Do your hands, wrists, or forearms ache regularly? Is typing or repetitive work becoming uncomfortable? You might have carpal tunnel syndrome.
This condition causes tingling and numbness, usually in the thumb, index, middle, or ring fingers. It can worsen, leading to hand weakness and dropping objects.
Carpal tunnel often results from repetitive wrist motions, common in construction and manufacturing jobs requiring gripping and lifting.
Tendinopathy
Tendinopathy covers any tendon-related problem, including injury or disease.
Tendinitis is tendon inflammation, often affecting the shoulder’s rotator cuff or biceps tendons. Minor tears can trigger this inflammatory response.
Tendinosis involves tendon degeneration without inflammation, linked to overuse and micro-tearing. Anti-inflammatories may slow healing here.
Injured tendons cause pain and weakness during movement. Repetitive motions often lead to tendinopathies in the wrist, elbow, shoulder, neck, ankle, foot, or knee.
Proper physical therapy guidance can greatly help if you have tendinopathy.
Sprains / Strains
Sprains and strains are often mixed up!
Sprains are ligament overstretching or tears, while strains involve muscles or tendons being overstretched or torn. These cause swelling, pain, and movement difficulties.
Sudden events like twisting an ankle or lifting awkwardly can trigger sprains or strains.
