Office Injuries and Risk Factors
Working in an office can result in more serious injury than one may at first think. Those whose jobs include repetitive actions such as typing on a keyboard may be at risk for carpal tunnel syndrome. If as a worker, you begin to have a tingling sensation in your hands or discover areas of prolonged numbness, it is wise to seek the advice of a doctor. If untreated, the condition may worsen and become painful. This may include a radiation of pain up the arm and into the shoulder and even the neck. In more acute instances of carpal tunnel, a person loses their ability to grip objects.
