Common Repetitive Stress Injuries in the Workplace
- Carpal tunnel syndrome: This condition results from repeated wrist movements, causing tingling, numbness, and pain in your hands. It is commonly seen in occupations involving extensive typing or tool handling.
- Tendonitis: Caused by repetitive strain on tendons, this injury leads to inflammation and pain, often affecting your shoulders, elbows, or knees. Workers in physically demanding jobs are particularly at risk. Treatment may include rest, physical therapy, and surgery.
- Bursitis: Resulting from repetitive pressure or motion, bursitis affects fluid-filled sacs in joints, causing pain and swelling. Commonly experienced in knees, hips, or shoulders, it can severely limit your movement. You may need workplace adjustments to manage this.
- Back strain: Continuous lifting or bending can lead to muscle strains in the back, causing chronic pain and mobility issues. Back injuries are prevalent among workers in manual labor jobs. Treatment often involves physical therapy and ergonomic interventions.
- Rotator cuff Injuries: Frequent overhead movements can damage shoulder tendons, resulting in pain and weakness. These injuries are common in construction and manufacturing jobs. Recovery may necessitate rest, therapy, or surgical repair.
- Trigger finger: This is a condition where your fingers catch or lock due to repeated gripping actions, causing pain and stiffness. It is often seen in workers handling tools or equipment. Treatment includes splints, therapy, or injections to relieve symptoms.
- Hearing loss: Continuous exposure to loud noises can lead to gradual hearing damage, impacting communication and safety at work.

Employer Retaliation and Workers’ Compensation
As an injured worker, you have rights, and any retaliation from your employer over the filing of a workers’ compensation claim is illegal. Retaliation can take many forms, including demotion, wrongful termination, or workplace harassment, all of which can add stress and discourage employees from continuing with their claims. Fear of such repercussions may even prevent some workers from filing a claim in the first place.
Kiwan & Chambers APC can offer critical support in these situations. We’ve handled enough of these cases that we can spot subtle forms of retaliation that might otherwise be overlooked. We can provide guidance on recognizing and documenting these situations. We’ll take care of filing complaints with the appropriate state agencies and representing you in retaliation claims. Deterrence can be a powerful tool against retaliation—the employer who knows an employee is backed up by strong legal representation may be less likely to take actions that violate your rights.
