Getting injured on the job can be a stressful and disruptive experience. The pain, lost wages, and navigating workers' compensation can leave you feeling overwhelmed. At Northwest Injury Clinics, we understand the unique challenges faced by those who suffer work-related injuries. Our team is dedicated to helping you recover as quickly and completely as possible, so you can get back to work and your life.
Common Work-Related Injuries
Work-related injuries can occur in various ways, depending on your job and industry. Though workplace injuries are typically associated with labor-intensive jobs, there can be risk factors in any industry. Even office jobs with minimal physical labor required are prone to repetitive motion injuries such as carpel tunnel and neck strain. Some of the most common work injuries we treat include:
- Back and neck pain: Lifting heavy objects, repetitive motions, and poor posture can all contribute to back and neck pain
- Muscle strains and sprains: Overexertion, slips, and falls can cause muscle strains and sprains
- Carpal tunnel syndrome: This repetitive stress injury affects the hand and wrist, causing pain, numbness, and tingling
- Knee injuries: Workers who kneel, squat, or climb frequently are at risk for knee injuries
- Shoulder injuries: Rotator cuff injuries and other shoulder problems are common among workers who perform overhead activities
- Head injuries: Concussions and other head injuries can occur in falls or from falling objects
When To Seek Treatment After A Workplace Injury
While getting back to work quickly might seem ideal, prioritizing your health and complete recovery is crucial in the long run. Remember: early intervention promotes faster healing. The sooner you begin treatment, the quicker you'll recover and return to work.
Proper diagnosis and treatment prevent long-term complications. If left untreated, some work injuries can lead to chronic pain and disability. Your work is important, but not as important as your health. Prioritize your healing with Northwest Injury Clinic.
