All about Repetitive Stress Injury
There are two types of injuries one may obtain at the workplace; one being the injury caused from a single event, and the other being the injury obtained by working under a lot of stress and for a longer period of time. The latter is called repetitive stress injury, and is very common type of injury.
Repetitive stress injury is common at people who work from the office, construction yard or other places where they put a lot of stress on a specific part of their body every day. A writer will use his hands and elbows repeatedly to write, while a mechanic will use his hands and arms to fix things. Putting so much stress on a muscle will definitely result in an injury.

The most common causes of Repetitive Stress Injury
Repetitive stress is an injury that occurs over time and slowly develops into a chronic condition. It is a result of a huge amount of stress put onto your muscles, tendons and bones. Occupational diseases are similar to repetitive stress injury, as both of these injuries have something in common and both develop over a period of time. The most common cases of repetitive stress injury are carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), neck injury, knee injury and cubital tunnel syndrome.
The biggest problem with these injuries is that they are super hard to diagnose in the first place. Usually, by the time you realize that you have an injury or have developed a condition, you are super late to start the treatment. This is why it is recommended to check your body at least once a year for anything that may look suspicious. An annual check will help you in finding out whether you have developed a condition or not. Also, if you are working non-stop without any rest, find a way to rest your body and muscles to prevent any injury from happening. It is always easier to prevent it than to cure it.
