How common are work related injuries?
Musculoskeletal disorders of any cause are among the most prevalent medical problems, affecting 7% of the population and accounting for 14% of physical visits and 19% of hospital stays. When looking specifically at cases involving days away from work, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in 1994, approximately 32% of all illness cases were the result of overexertion or repetitive motion. This figure includes back injuries.
Are Repetitive Tasks At Work Causing You Pain?
If you repeatedly use the same part of your body over and over in your work, you may develop strain. Computer operators, typists and musicians sometimes develop pain in their wrists, fingers or hands.
The strain may also be experienced as numbness and tingling sensations in joints, or as neck pain. The medical name for this condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). CTS can easily be diagnosed and treated.
