Repetitive Stress Injury

Common Types of Work Injuries

A repetitive stress injury is a common type of injury that workers' compensation covers. The exact cause of the injury is difficult to diagnosis, given the fact that the injury occurs slowly over time. A repetitive stress injury is painful, and may require extensive rehabilitation, even surgery.

Types of Repetitive Stress Injuries

These types of injuries occur slowly over time, and are difficult to diagnosis. Given the slow progression of the injury, doctors have difficulty in pinpointing its exact cause. We can direct you to a doctor who can give you a correct diagnosis and treatment for injuries that include:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome caused by repetitive physical movements like typing and factory work
• Back injury and tendonitis caused by heavy lifting or repetitive physical strain
• Repetitive stress injury (RSI) caused by excessive strain and repetition on the joints
• Hearing loss caused by constant exposure to loud noises
• Lung and breathing disorders from the inhalation of toxic chemicals over time
