Healthcare Industry – Back Injuries
In the healthcare injuries, back injuries are one of the most prevalent injury types. This is because healthcare industry employees are frequently on their feet and lifting heavy objects or people, like patients who cannot fully move on their own. Back injuries can impact healthcare workers of all types, from nurses who work closely with injured patients to cleaning staff, who frequently move or lift equipment.
For healthcare workers, some of the most common types of back injuries include:
- Sprains and strains
- Herniated discs
- Bulging discs
- Fractured vertebra
Some types of back injuries go away on their own with time and rest. Others can lead to serious and long-term pain, and may impact a healthcare worker’s ability to perform their necessary work functions and other activities.
