The Impact Of Neck And Back Injuries
Neck and back problems come in many forms. Some may cause constant discomfort, while others can be sudden and severe. In workers’ compensation cases, we commonly see injuries such as:
- Herniated or slipped discs
- Whiplash
- Fractured vertebrae
- Spinal cord compression
- Pinched nerves
- Muscle strains and sprains
These injuries can cause long-term pain, limited mobility, numbness, headaches or even paralysis. If your job involves heavy lifting, repetitive motions or prolonged sitting, you could be at risk for a neck injury or back injury.
No matter the severity, you deserve proper medical treatment and wage replacement if your injury happens at work.
How Do These Injuries Happen In The Workplace?
In Vero Beach, we have helped numerous workers file claims after suffering job-related injuries. Some of the most common causes of workplace neck and back injuries include:
- Lifting heavy objects without assistance
- Falling from ladders, steps or platforms
- Slipping on wet floors
- Repetitive strain from tasks like typing or machinery use
- Vehicle accidents while on the job
- Poor ergonomics or unsafe workplace setups
Over time, even small movements can cause wear and tear, leading to serious health issues. It is essential not to ignore symptoms such as stiffness, tingling or sharp pain, especially if they develop after a workplace accident or while performing your job duties.
