Understanding Construction-Related Injuries
Construction sites are high-risk environments. According to OSHA, construction is one of the most dangerous industries in the U.S., with thousands of injuries reported annually. These injuries often require the attention of a specialist- particularly when bones, joints, or muscles are involved.
Common construction injuries we treat include:
- Fractures and broken bones
- Torn ligaments and tendons
- Shoulder injuries (rotator cuff tears, dislocations)
- Knee injuries (ACL/MCL tears, meniscus injuries)
- Spinal injuries and herniated discs
- Hand and wrist trauma
- Repetitive motion injuries (carpal tunnel, tendonitis)
If you’ve experienced an orthopedic injury at a construction site – whether from a fall, lifting heavy materials, or being struck by equipment- it’s crucial to seek expert care right away.
