Common Work Injuries We Treat

Workplace injuries include accidents or conditions that develop while an employee is on the job. Construction, law enforcement, nursing, driving, office work, and repetitive factory work can all place demands on the body.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The carpal tunnel houses the median nerve in the wrist. Repeated movements can compress this nerve, with typing and assembly-line work among common contributors.

Strains & Sprains

Sprains and strains affect ligaments and tendons. They may follow a traumatic event, such as a fall from a ladder, or develop from repetitive motion and improper use of workplace equipment.

Work-Related Auto Accidents

Driving for work can put you at risk for injuries ranging from cuts and abrasions to fractures and whiplash. Physical therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation while restoring range of motion.

Back Pain

Twisting incorrectly, sitting at a desk for long periods, or regularly lifting heavy objects with poor technique can all contribute to a back injury.

Tendonitis

Repetitive movements and overuse of specific body parts can lead to tendonitis. The elbows, shoulders, and knees are commonly affected, often with tenderness, discomfort, and swelling.

Repetitive & Postural Injuries

Even office work can be physically taxing. Prolonged sitting in the same position and constant repetitive tasks can create pain and movement problems over time.

How Physical Therapy Helps You Recover

At Comprehensive Physical Therapy, your care begins with an assessment of your symptoms, medical history, and health constraints. Your physical therapist then creates a personalized plan to address pain, improve mobility, and restore function.

Appropriate treatment can reduce the need for potentially harmful prescription medications or surgery in many cases. Along the way, your therapist can help you improve work-performance techniques so you can heal while working to prevent another injury.

Your care plan may focus on:

  • Pain relief and inflammation management
  • Improving mobility and range of motion
  • Building strength for job demands
  • Guidance for safer movement and work performance
  • Progressing toward your return to normal activities and work
