Nursing assistants working in hospitals, or mental health facility workers can sustain these types of injuries when lifting patients or dealing with mental health residents.
Back, spine and neck injuries can include injuries to L (lumbar) 4 and L 5, and C (cervical spine) 5, 6 and 7 and to the thoracic spine. Construction accidents, warehouse accidents and other industrial accidents can lead to these injuries.
Injuries to the knees, shoulders, wrists, elbows and other joints happen when a worker must twist or turn to perform his or her job or when a worker must put a significant amount of weight on a joint for a significant amount of time throughout the work day.
