Common Workplace Injuries
Work-related back and neck injuries can severely impact your quality of life. Here are the most common spinal injuries encountered in the workplace:
- Muscle Strains: Caused by overexertion or improper lifting techniques.
- Herniated Discs: Occurs when the discs between the vertebrae bulge out or rupture, often due to repetitive motions or lifting heavy objects.
- Cervical Radiculopathy: This is a result of pressure on the nerve roots in the neck, often due to repetitive neck movements or sustained awkward positioning.
- Lumbar Sprains: Sprains occur when ligaments — the fibrous tissues that connect bones — are overstretched or torn.
- Spinal Stenosis: This involves the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress the spinal cord and nerves.
Industries at Risk
Spine injuries are prevalent in several key industries due to the physical demands of the work involved. Construction workers often suffer from back issues due to heavy lifting and strenuous activities. Similarly, those in education and health services face risks when moving patients or equipment. The agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting sectors also report high rates of back injuries from labor-intensive tasks. Additionally, the transportation and warehousing industry sees a significant number of back injuries from loading duties and prolonged driving.
