Injuries are difficult for everyone, but work injuries are especially hard to deal with. Injuries that occur on the job can be emotionally, physically, and financially draining. The pressure to return to work and support a family makes it even worse. This is especially true if you don’t know how long you’ll be out of work.
The good news is that our physical therapists understand the toll that a workplace injury can take on a person. We will get you back on your feet and back to work quickly. We are committed to providing you with the high-quality care you deserve.
Typical workplace injuries
Workplace injuries are common, with up to three million occurring each year. Although certain occupations have a higher injury rate, all professions suffer from work-related injuries.
Physical jobs, such as construction, have a higher rate of workplace injuries, but office workers aren’t far behind. Less physical jobs, such as teaching or desk work, frequently suffer from overuse injuries, whereas manual workers suffer acute traumas. In reality, acute or overuse injuries can occur in any profession.
Some of the most common workplace injuries are as follows:
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a medical condition that causes tingling and numbness in your fingers and hand. Typically, the symptoms are felt in the thumb and index fingers, as well as the middle and ring fingers. For some, the condition will worsen, causing hand weakness and people to drop items.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is frequently associated with overuse injuries, particularly among construction and manufacturing workers who must lift, grip, and perform forceful wrist motions.
Sprains / Strains
Sprains occur when a ligament is stretched or torn, whereas strains occur when a muscle or tendon is stretched or torn. Unexpected tissue overstretching can result in a tear, swelling, pain, and difficulty moving.
Physical therapy can help you recover from work injuries faster
According to research, the longer workers are out of work, the less likely they are to return. The psychological toll of dealing with the injury, the impact on your financial well-being, the employer’s expectations, and dealing with insurance companies can all make things feel overwhelming.
Physical therapy is a safe and highly effective method of recovering quickly from workplace injuries. In many cases, we can assist in avoiding potentially dangerous prescription medications or surgery.
We use cutting-edge pain management and mobility enhancement techniques at our clinic. Our Warminster and New Britain, PA physical therapists will create a comprehensive treatment plan that is tailored to your specific requirements.
