Work Injury
At any given day, we spent our longest time at work. Working in an office generally tends to be sedentary and repetitive which may result in both mental and physical fatigue. The different work settings have their own challenges, hazards and risks and therefore, the probability of getting hurt or injured is highest at work.
Innumerable office works involve premises and settings that demand static positions of joints which are adjacent to joints that are essentially required to endure repetitive movements. A perfect example of this accounts for working in a keyboard where the wrist is held in a relatively fixed position while your fingers peck away at the keys. This situation is the ideal setting which leads to an injury.
Causes of Work Injury
Work related injuries are triggered by the different work environment which includes repetitive, empathetic or elongated exertions of the hands; frequent or laborious lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying heavy objects; prolonged awkward postures and lots more. Our bodies are especially designed to move joints through full range compound movements which allow lubrication of joints and adequate blood flow. Without a proper blood supply and joint lubrication, our bodies tend to break down causing neck pain, back pain and a host of other issues involving the joints.
These work injuries can have serious consequences and can lead to severe physically and emotionally draining symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling; decreased worker productivity; lost time from work; temporary or permanent disability; inability to perform job tasks; and an increase in workers compensation costs.
