Work Injury

In Dr. David's Words

Any injury that happens during work in the workplace (or outside the workplace) is what we call a “work injury.” Normally, a worker who is injured during work reports to the state Department of Labor and Industry through Workers’ Compensation (WC). Work injuries may be commonplace in the construction field, warehouses, or musical theater as well as in the office setting. It could occur when bending down, lifting heavy objects, improper twisting motions, reaching for something overhead, falling down on the floor or stairs, etc.

If you have experienced a work injury, it is crucial to communicate with a healthcare provider regarding how the injury occurred and where the pain resides with proper detail for further assessment and a precise diagnosis. Depending on the process and location of the injury, our Kirkland chiropractor will determine the diagnosis and the direction of treatment.
