Common Work Injuries
If your job involves strenuous lifting, repetitive motions or dangerous equipment, you may be prone to a number of dangerous work injuries. At Pain Arthritis Relief Center in Rockville, we provide customized work injury treatment plans to help you with the recovery and strengthening process. Contact us today for a combination of movement therapy, physical therapy, back strengthening and other treatments that will help you deal with your workplace injury.
Work injuries vary depending on the nature of the job; however, common work injuries include:
- Overexertion. This is considered the number-one workplace injury. Overexertion is due to activities involving pulling, lifting, carrying, holding or throwing.
- Falling. Injuries often occur because of wet office floors that cause people to slip. Falls from elevated areas like roofs or ladders are also considered common work injuries.
- Car accidents. If you drive a truck for work or use transportation specifically for business purposes, car accidents tend to be pretty common.
- Falling objects. Injuries commonly occur when items fall from shelves or are dropped on someone.
- Improper use of dangerous equipment. This type of workplace injury is most common in factory-like settings that have dangerous machinery.

Client Review
“A few months ago I re-injured my back and came into the clinic in a wheelchair. Today, about 3 months later, I just finished a 3 mile run. That alone should tell my experience. “
