What causes musculoskeletal injuries?
Musculoskeletal injuries can be the result of damage sustained to the muscular or skeletal systems. This includes your bones, tendons, muscles, nerves, ligaments, and blood vessels.
Many musculoskeletal injuries are overuse injuries that occur as a result of strenuous and/or repetitive activity, making them a very common work-related injury. Some of the most traumatic musculoskeletal injuries are crush injuries that can result in permanent damage to the limbs, bones, ligaments, tissues, and other health complications.
Some of the most common reasons for a person sustaining this kind of injury are:
- Automobile accidents
- Falls
- Sprains
- Dislocations
- Fractures
- Direct blows to muscle
Severe damage to the musculoskeletal system can cause immense weakness, decreased range of motion, chronic pain and stiffness that prevent an individual’s ability to do many things independently.
A few examples of everyday tasks they may have trouble with are dressing and feeding themselves, walking, running, holding and lifting items, taking care of their families, and working at their jobs. This can take a toll on a person’s confidence, mood, morale, and overall mental and emotional health as they struggle to adjust to life around the limitations of their injury.
If you’ve received a musculoskeletal injury, it’s important that you have a doctor who is dedicated to your overall well-being and safety and can give you the proper care and attention your condition requires. Although in some cases, injuries are severe and damage is irreversible, this does not mean you should give up on maintaining overall wellness, or the notion of leading a healthy life.
