Repetitive strain injuries aren’t limited to factory floors. In our region, they often show up in roles involving:
- Industrial and construction support work (repeated lifting, gripping, tool vibration, awkward postures)
- Warehouse and logistics (scanner use, repetitive pulling/stacking, long standing shifts)
- Office and service positions (high-volume computer work, phone use, repetitive scheduling/data entry)
- Healthcare and caregiving (repeated patient handling motions, sustained arm/shoulder positions)
Common complaints include hand/wrist pain and tingling, elbow tendon irritation, shoulder/neck strain, back discomfort, and flare-ups that worsen after certain shifts or tasks.
