Many industrial jobs require constant lifting. Because workers are often required to move heavy objects, back, shoulder and knee injuries in the industrial workplace are common. If left unchecked, these injuries can lead to other consequences. For example, an untreated torn ligament may lead to a torn meniscus, which can result in water on the knee. Back injuries are no better. In fact, the American Society of Physical Therapists statistics estimate that "over 80% of all American workers suffer back pain at some time during their careers." Low back and shoulder injuries can cause pain, numbness and tingling, or painful muscle spasms. Although not disabling, these conditions can make it difficult or even temporarily impossible to do your job. If left untended, they can also have more serious repercussions on long- term health and mobility.
