Musculo-skeletal pain caused by neck and back injury, cumulative trauma to the upper extremities, fibromyalgia, and reflex dystrophy is an important cause of worker disability. Physicians are involved not only in the care of injured workers, but in providing independent medical opinions regarding such injuries. Advances in medical knowledge permit better understanding and management of these injuries, and it is the responsibility of all physicians to provide accurate diagnosis, treatment, and information to patients, employers, insurers, and the workers compensation system.
颈部和背部损伤、上肢累积性创伤、纤维肌痛以及反射性交感神经营养不良引起的肌肉骨骼疼痛是导致工人残疾的重要原因。医生不仅要负责照顾受伤工人,还要就此类损伤提供独立的医学意见。医学知识的进步使人们能够更好地理解和处理这些损伤,所有医生都有责任向患者、雇主、保险公司以及工伤赔偿系统提供准确的诊断、治疗和信息。
