Common Occupational Injuries
Occupational injuries frequently occur in manufacturing, construction, and industrial workplaces. However, even office jobs may present situations that lead to an injury.
The following are the most common occupational injuries we see in patients at our clinic:
- Muscle strains and ligament sprains, especially in the back, shoulder, and neck
- Tendonitis (e.g., lateral epicondylitis in the elbow)
- Joint dislocations
- Nerve compression injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical or lumbar radiculopathy, or sciatica
- Disc bulge or disc herniation
- Plantar fasciitis
Causes of occupational injuries are sometimes complex and may involve several factors, such as:
- Repetitive motion (such as lifting, twisting, or typing)
- Machinery entrapment
- Exposure to vibrational forces
- Slips and falls
- Lifting heavy objects
- Unclear or inconsistent work safety practices and standards
- Ill-fitting, faulty, or damaged protective gear and equipment
- Other factors like stress, distraction, or poor sleep
- Vehicle accidents
