Common Workplace Injuries We Treat:

  • Our team includes providers for every subspecialty of Orthopaedic care spectrum.

  • Injuries of the shoulder are among the most frequent work injuries. These can involve injuries to the rotator cuff, biceps, labrum, and articular cartilage and result from acute trauma or repetitive use, leading to pain and impairment of shoulder function. Depending on the severity of injury, conservation and surgical options are available depending on the patient's overall health and workplace requirements.

  • Disc Herniation (Cervical and Lumbar): Herniated discs can occur in both the cervical and lumbar spine, causing symptoms ranging from localized pain to radiating nerve pain, numbness, and weakness. Treatment options include conservation care, such as physical therapy and medication, as well as surgical intervention for more severe cases.

  • Hand, wrist, and elbow injuries occur frequently and can include acute injuries such as sprains, dislocations, fractures, tendon tears, or chronic overuse injuries. Treatment varies from activity modification to temporary immobilization or surgery, based on complexity and location of the injury.

  • Frequent work-related knee injuries include Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears, meniscal tears, kneecap (patella injuries), and articular cartilage injuries. Knee injuries are frequently associated with significant functional limitations. Conservative treatment options are considered when appropriate. Surgical treatment, however, may be often required in injuries such as ACL tears and cartilage injuries to restore joint function and allow for a safe return to work activities, while minimizing risk of re-injury.

  • Hip Injuries in the workplace can be acute or chronic and include labral tears, tendon injuries, and articular cartilage injuries. Comprehensive treatment options are available to facilitate recovery including physical therapy, injections, or surgical care.

  • Work-related injuries of the feet and ankles are frequently treated and include acute and chronic ligament injuries, fractures, cartilage defects, and tendon injuries.
