DuPont Physical Therapy Can Assist You in Recovering from Work Injuries
Typical Work-Related Injuries and Their Causes
Shoulder, elbow, and hand injuries
Resulting from repetitive motions or lifting heavy objects, injuries such as rotator cuff tear, tennis elbow, trigger finger, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, or Dupuytren’s contracture may occur.
Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs)
Typically prevalent in office settings, repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis arise from repetitive tasks and inadequate ergonomics.
Back Injuries
Common in manufacturing and manual labor professions, back injuries such as muscle strains and herniated discs can lead to pain, restricted mobility, and diminished functional abilities. These issues can significantly affect job performance and quality of life.
Hip, knee, ankle, and foot injuries
These can encompass a range of injuries, including stress fractures, sprains and strains, dislocations, meniscus tears, and ligament injuries (such as ACL and MCL tears). They may be triggered by falls, slips, and repetitive motions such as kneeling, squatting, running, jumping, or prolonged standing or walking on hard surfaces.
Slip and Fall Injuries
Slip and fall incidents, a leading cause of workplace accidents, can lead to fractures, sprains, and contusions. These injuries may result in temporary or permanent functional limitations, impacting one’s ability to work and carry out daily tasks.
