Common Types of Work-Related Injuries 

Whether you sit hunched over at a computer all day or lift heavy products for eight hours straight, some of the most common work-related injuries by far include back and neck problems. Back and neck pain can stem from poor posture at a desk or lifting heavy objects improperly. Although the cause of the pain is very different, the result is the same: chronic neck pain and backaches. Some other common work-related injuries include

• Sprains and strains
• Repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
• Lacerations
• Burns

Pain Management for Common Work-Related Injuries 

Let’s tackle the big one first. Neck and back injuries are some of the most prevalent pain complaints related to work injuries, and we know how to treat them.

Neck and back injuries can occur in several different ways and impact different parts of the anatomy. Herniated discs, muscle strains, ligament tears, dislocations, and compression fractures require different approaches.

These types of injuries can be the result of:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Improper lifting technique
• Over-exertion
• Poor posture or computer fatigue
• Company car accidents
• Falling objects
• Physical contact with an object or company equipment

While the causes may vary and different parts of the neck and back can be impacted, there are several holistic methods of pain relief that can be utilized to tackle all these issues and more.

• Physical Therapy. Your doctor may have already recommended a course of physical therapy following a work-related injury, and for a good reason. Physical therapy can address the source of the pain itself, thereby helping to relieve it. Techniques can address neck and back pain, but physical therapy is also a wonderful tool for those who may have suffered fractures, crush injuries, or other serious injuries. Physical therapy can help strengthen damaged or weakened muscles and retrain unused parts of the body.

• Chiropractic Care. Chiropractic care can be particularly helpful for workers who suffer from neck and back pain. By realigning the spine, this form of care can ease muscle tension, reduce joint inflammation, and restore range of motion. With over one hundred techniques, there is a form of chiropractic care that can address the needs of sedentary workers and heavy laborers.

• Massage. Massage therapy can provide both body and mind with healing and balance. Especially powerful for those with chronic neck and back pain associated with work-related conditions, massage can ease muscle tension and soft tissue strains, improve blood flow, and even reduce stress. It can also help alleviate muscle and joint pain in the legs, arms, and hands. Some techniques may also help with repetitive injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

• Acupuncture. A staple in Chinese medicine, acupuncture can help ease pain associated with a wide variety of work-related conditions. It is particularly useful in relieving pain associated with fatigue, and both muscle and joint pain.

No matter the injury, there is a therapy or combination of therapies that can relieve you from the cycle of pain that has plagued you since your accident.
