Shoulder pain in your workplace can significantly hinder productivity and employee well-being. Common causes include:
Found in manufacturing, healthcare, and office settings, where tasks require repeated movements.
Occurring in the construction and mining industries, where workers engage in heavy lifting and operate machinery.
A common factor for office workers who spend extensive hours at desks with inadequate ergonomic setups.
Accidental injuries, whether acute or developed over time, can lead to serious shoulder conditions requiring comprehensive care.
