What Is Considered a Work Injury?
A work injury includes any injury, illness, or condition caused by your job or aggravated by your workplace activities. At Spine Time, we frequently see workers with injuries from overexertion, repetitive strain, slips and falls, heavy lifting, and high-stress environments.

- Repetitive motion injuries (typing, assembly, bending)
- Shoulder or knee strain
- Sciatica and nerve compression
- Muscle sprains and ligament strains
- Disc herniations
- Neck pain from postural strain
- Workplace equipment injuries
2. Mental & Psychological Work Injuries
Stress-related injuries may include:

Whether your injury happened suddenly or developed slowly, proper diagnosis and documentation are essential to your recovery and your workers’ compensation benefits.
What To Do Immediately After a Work Injury
