When to see an Orthopedic Specialist for a Work Injury
Workplace injuries happen annually at an alarming rate of 7 million per year. Workers who must lift heavy objects tend to suffer overexertion injuries, particularly to their back, knees, hips, and shoulders. Repetitive motion injuries such as rotator cuff tendonitis in the shoulder can cause acute damage and chronic pain. These injuries create a loss of productivity while the individual's economic and professional standing takes a hit.
