Back and Neck Injuries from Work

Back and neck injuries are some of the most common workplace injuries, especially in construction or other manual labor jobs.  However, your job doesn't have to be manual labor to sustain a back or neck injury on the job.  While they may be more prevalent in industires such as construction, they can happen in any type of job.  For example, a worker who is required to drive a vehicle could be injured in an auto accident while working, or an employee who is required to lift occasionally could injure their back or neck.  Likewise, there is always a potential for a slip and fall accident while working.  It is important to notify your employer immediately to ensure the claim process goes as smoothly as possible.  Here are the most common back and neck injuries that workers suffer on the job:  Spinal Cord Injuries, Oversuse Syndrome, Strained Muscles, Herniated Discs, Repititive Stress Injuries, Torn Muscles, Sciatica, Sciatic Nerve Pain, Nerve Damage and Vertebrae injury.
