Common Types of Work Injuries
Some of the most frequent injuries seen in the workplace include:
- Back pain and neck pain (accounting for up to 75% of work-related injuries)
- Repetitive stress injuries like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or tendonitis
- Muscle strains and sprains from lifting or overexertion
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Joint dysfunction in the shoulders, hips, knees, or wrists
These injuries can occur in virtually any profession, from office jobs and manufacturing to construction and healthcare.
How Do Work Injuries Happen?
While some injuries occur from a specific incident, many develop gradually from everyday activities on the job. Common causes include:
- Repetitive motion tasks (typing, lifting, reaching)
- Poor workplace ergonomics or equipment
- Heavy lifting without proper technique
- Prolonged sitting or standing
- Lack of movement variety or stretching breaks
Over time, these stressors can lead to chronic tension, misalignments, and dysfunction throughout the body.
