Are you suffering from an injury sustained at work that is limiting your physical abilities? Having to take time off work can cause monetary distress, especially if you are unsure of how long your recovery period will be. It is important to make sure that you have a proper rehabilitation plan that will get you back to your normal routine as quickly as possible. Fortunately, Central Physiotherapy & Massage can help with this. Physiotherapy plays a key role in helping people recover from their work injuries, especially since treatment plans are often covered under workers’ compensation insurance (WCB Alberta).
If you happen to get hurt at work, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible, as almost any type of injury left untreated may become more serious over time.
Work injuries are characterized as an accident or illness sustained by an employee while working in his or her workplace. Many professions, such as construction, law enforcement, and nursing can present potentially hazardous situations.
Surprisingly, even office work can result in work-related accidents, as sitting in the same place for extended periods can be taxing on your body. People who work in offices or warehouses are often at risk of repeated injuries because the essence of their occupations necessitates continuous repetition.
Physiotherapy has been proven successful in quickly and effectively treating work injuries for people of all ages. Our physiotherapists use the most advanced treatment methods aimed at relieving pain, improving mobility, and promoting overall healing. Our dedicated physiotherapists will also provide you with helpful techniques for proper performance while on the job, in order to avoid further injury in the future.
Physiotherapy is a natural, quick, and easy way to recover from work injuries. In many cases, it also eliminates the need for potentially harmful prescription drugs or surgical intervention. If you are suffering from a work injury, contact Central Physiotherapy today to schedule your appointment. We’ll work with your worker’s compensation case worker to help you recover quickly and get you back to your normal work performance in no time!
Some of the most common include:
Back pain is the most commonly reported source of pain, and it can be caused by several types of work-related activities. For example, long periods of inactivity, such as sitting at a desk all day, can lead to back pain. Putting too much force on your back, such as repeatedly lifting heavy items improperly, can also lead to back pain. Back injuries are typically caused by rotating or twisting the back incorrectly, especially when lifting.
Sprains and strains can occur throughout the body, affecting the tendons and ligaments. This is often the most common type of work place injury. These can occur from trauma, such as falling off a ladder, or repetitive motions. They can also occur as a result of improper use of equipment.
Whatever the case may be, Central Physiotherapy can help you reduce or even eliminate the pain from an injured tendon or ligament.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed, typically due to repetitive motions. Common causes of carpal tunnel syndrome include typing and assembly line work. It is often recommended to seek treatment for this condition as soon as possible, in order to avoid long-term nerve damage. A physiotherapy program may include manual therapy to release the pressure off the nerve, light exercises to strengthen the muscles in your hand and wrist, as well as stretches to improve flexibility.
Tendinitis develops through repetitive motions and excessive overuse of certain body parts. Symptoms typically include tenderness, pain, and swelling. This condition most commonly occurs in the knees, elbows, and shoulders, and can be treated easily with physiotherapy.
If you work in a job that requires the use of a vehicle, there is always a risk of motor vehicle injuries. Work-related automobile accidents can result in injuries ranging from mild cuts and abrasions to broken bones and severe whiplash.
Physiotherapy can help in your recovery from an automobile accident by reducing pain and inflammation, and restoring your range of motion.
