Symptoms of Workplace-Related Injuries
Symptoms can develop suddenly after an accident or gradually over time. Common signs of workplace injuries include:
- Neck, shoulder, or back pain
- Stiffness and limited range of motion
- Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs
- Radiating nerve pain
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Headaches, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating
- Pain that worsens with movement, sitting, or standing
If pain interferes with work performance or daily activities, it’s important to see a specialist for evaluation and treatment.
Diagnosing Workplace Injuries
Our team uses advanced diagnostic techniques to pinpoint the source of your pain and develop an individualized treatment plan. Evaluation may include:
- Comprehensive medical history and physical exam to assess posture and movement
- X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to identify structural or soft tissue damage
- Pain mapping to localize specific areas of pain
- Diagnostic nerve blocks to determine whether a nerve is contributing to discomfort
This thorough approach helps identify the exact cause of your symptoms and guide the most effective treatment.
