Do these injuries often happen in the workplace?

We know that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that there were around 2.8 million nonfatal workplace injuries during the latest year of data they received. Many of these occurred to workers’ necks and backs. These injuries happen in a variety of ways, but we need to examine the various areas that can become injured:

1. Back Injuries – Our backs include a complex combination of bones, muscles, and tissues. Every movement we make involves our core, which is why back injuries affect everything we do. Back injuries can include muscle or ligament strains, bulging or ruptured discs, arthritis, osteoporosis, and more.
2. Neck Injuries – Our necks are the start of our spinal column and spinal cord, and any injury to the neck is going to cause major complications. The neck is an extension of our back. If the neck muscles, tendons, or tissues are damaged, we can suffer from short- or long-term consequences.
3. Spinal Cord Injuries – These are the most severe form of neck and back injuries, and they can lead to partial or complete paralysis.

What causes workplace back and neck injuries?

Workplace back and neck injuries are commonly caused by vehicle accidents, falls, getting pinned between objects, falling objects, as well as repetitive stress injuries.

What are the consequences of these injuries?

Back and neck injuries can have both short- or long-term consequences. Most workers who sustain back and neck injuries will miss some workdays and suffer from pain and discomfort. Even short-term injuries can lead to major medical expenses and lost income. For major back and neck injuries, a worker may be permanently disabled and unable to earn an income. They can suffer from an immeasurable loss of enjoyment of life.
