Our goal is to support recovery, manage symptoms, and help you rebuild the mobility and function you need.

Understanding Work Injuries and Washington State L&I Claims

A work injury is a condition that occurs while performing job duties. These injuries may result from a sudden incident or develop over time.

Common types include:

  • Slip, trip, and fall injuries that occur in the workplace.
  • Repetitive stress injuries, including overuse conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Lift and strain injuries, including lower back strain from lifting or awkward movements.

In Washington State, Labor & Industries (L&I) may cover approved care for work-related injuries. Early evaluation and clear documentation help support an L&I claim and guide an appropriate treatment plan.

Chiropractic care can be part of that plan and may include a clinical assessment, spinal manipulation, soft tissue therapy, and personalized activity guidance based on your condition and job demands.

Common Workplace Injuries We Treat

Frequently Asked Questions – Work Injuries and L&I (Kirkland)

What qualifies as a work injury under L&I?

A work injury includes a condition that occurs while performing job duties. This may involve a sudden incident, such as a slip or fall, or a condition that develops over time, such as repetitive strain. In Washington State, Labor & Industries (L&I) may cover approved care for these injuries when properly documented.

Do you treat both spinal and extremity work injuries?

Yes. Care may include treatment for spinal conditions (such as back and neck pain) and extremity injuries (such as shoulder, wrist, or knee conditions). Treatment is based on your specific condition, exam findings, and functional limitations.

Is chiropractic care compatible with other treatments I’m receiving?

Chiropractic care is often a key component of a multidisciplinary recovery plan. While we focus on non-invasive manual therapies to improve function and manage discomfort, we can work alongside your other healthcare providers to ensure a coordinated approach to your recovery and treatment.
