Is tendonitis a workplace injury?

Yes, tendonitis can be considered (and frequently is) a work-related injury. Many workers suffer from tendonitis after accidents on the job. Falls, vehicle accidents, lifting accidents, and other on-the-job incidents are all common causes of tendonitis. Tendonitis can also result from work-related repetitive stress.

Is tendonitis considered an injury?

Tendinitis is an overuse injury. Resting the affected tendon allows the inflammation to reduce. If a sport or specific repetitive motion caused the tendinitis, the person should avoid this activity. A bandage, splint, or brace may help reduce movement.
