8 Common Arm Injuries in the Workplace
The arms are involved in a tremendous variety of tasks and activities, both work-related and non-work-related, so it is important that they remain healthy, strong, and pain-free. Unfortunately, many occupations put their workers at risk of developing an arm injury, and in many cases, these arm injuries prevent a person from working either temporarily or permanently. This can be extremely debilitating to an American worker living from paycheck to paycheck.

Frequently Sustained Arm Injuries
Many jobs require the full use and range of motion of one’s arms, so an injury to one or both of the arms can significantly limit an individual’s ability to continue working. The following are eight of the arm injuries most frequently sustained due to work-related duties or workplace accidents:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Dislocations
- Sprains
- Tendinitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Bursitis
- Accidental amputations
- Nerve damage
Some of these injuries will heal in a short amount of time, but others may require surgical intervention to correct, which can be expensive, painful, and time-consuming. Workers’ compensation benefits may be able to help in cases such as these.
