Suffering from a Work Injury?
Many people are surprised to find out that the majority of work injuries in Chapel Hill do not occur because of serious accidents. The truth is that most injuries in the workplace happen from overuse injuries. Each year in the United States millions of dollars are spent to help individuals with this problem.
The most common of all the risk factors associated with work injury is repetitive stress. Small tasks that happen with poor posture create big problems over time. Twisting and turning while moving boxes or even continuous typing in a poor position. You would think it’s the big accident that would hurt you, but it’s the small movements occurring poorly with frequency more often each day that create the majority of injuries.
