- Strains and Sprains: Often caused by lifting heavy objects, sudden movements, or overuse.
- Back Injuries: Resulting from improper lifting techniques, poor posture, or prolonged sitting.
- Repetitive Strain Injuries: Such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and bursitis, often caused by repetitive motions.
- Joint Injuries: Including shoulder, knee, and elbow injuries, often from repetitive tasks or acute trauma.
- Neck Injuries: Due to poor ergonomics, prolonged computer use, or sudden movements.

- Pain and discomfort in the affected area
- Swelling and inflammation
- Limited range of motion
