Tendonitis in the Workplace

A tendon is a band of tough tissue that connects muscle to bone. When a bone that connects to a joint is moved in the same way over a long period of time, the tendons near the joints can become inflamed. This painful condition is known as tendonitis, and it is a common risk for those who work in certain types of jobs.

If you are suffering from tendonitis caused by your job duties, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation. This will help you cover expenses such as medical care and lost wages due to missed work. To learn more, call the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529.

Preventing Tendonitis at Work

If your job requires certain repetitive activities – such as typing, lifting, bending over, etc. – you may be at risk for developing tendonitis. Some things that can help you prevent this condition include:

  • Warm up before engaging in physical activities. Gently exercise and stretch your muscles for a few minutes. Take a few minutes to stretch at the end of the day as well.
  • If you begin to feel pain in any of your joints, take a break. Pain can be a warning sign that an injury is beginning to form.
  • Exercise. Working out can build up your tendons’ resistance to pressure. In addition to all of the other health benefits of regular exercise, it can also help you avoid workplace injuries.

Unfortunately, work-related tendonitis can still occur even if you take precautionary measures. If you need medical treatment for tendonitis due to work-related activities, our New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyers may be able to help you secure the benefits you need.
