Hurt on the job. We can help.
Work injuries can happen in a single moment — a fall, a lift, an accident — or they can build gradually from repetitive tasks your body wasn't designed to sustain indefinitely. Either way, you deserve a proper evaluation, a clear diagnosis, and a care plan that gets you back to full function as safely and quickly as possible.
Your doctor may call this an occupational injury or work-related musculoskeletal disorder, depending on whether it was a single incident or accumulated over time.

What work injuries really is.
A work injury is any musculoskeletal injury that occurs in the course of your job — from a warehouse floor fall that strains your back to a decade of keyboard work that quietly damaged your wrists and neck. The injury may be obvious and acute, or it may have developed so gradually that you're not sure exactly when it started. Both are real, and both are treatable.
The most common work-related injuries involve the lower back, shoulders, knees, and upper extremities — reflecting the physical demands of labor-intensive and repetitive-motion jobs alike. Because work injuries are often tied to workers' compensation systems, getting evaluated promptly and documented accurately matters both for your health and for navigating your claim.
The good news
The large majority of work injuries respond well to the same evidence-based care used for any musculoskeletal condition — targeted rehabilitation, pain management, and when needed, minimally invasive procedures. The goal is always to restore function. Most workers return to their job, and many to full duty, with the right plan.
Acute vs. cumulative trauma
We distinguish acute occupational injuries (single-event mechanisms) from cumulative trauma disorders (repetitive stress over time). Acute injuries typically have a clear incident and onset; cumulative disorders develop insidiously and may involve multiple tissue types. Both need a documented mechanism, a physical examination, and appropriate imaging — both for clinical accuracy and for workers' comp purposes.
Common signs we treat.
Repetitive-strain aching
A building ache in the hands, wrists, shoulders, or back that worsens through the workday and eases on weekends — a pattern typical of cumulative work-related injury.
Pain from lifting or twisting
Sharp or severe pain triggered by a specific movement at work — lifting, bending, twisting, or pulling — often pointing to an acute soft-tissue or spinal injury.
Numbness from repetitive motion
Tingling or numbness in the hands or fingers after repetitive gripping, typing, or vibration — a common sign of carpal tunnel syndrome or cervical nerve involvement from sustained postures.
From hurting to healed.
We work from the least-invasive options upward, escalating only if you need it. Most patients improve well before surgery is ever discussed.
Diagnose the cause
A physician examines you and, if needed, reviews imaging to pinpoint exactly what's driving the pain.
Calm it down
Targeted physical therapy, activity guidance, and medication to settle the irritation and reduce inflammation.
Image-guided injections
If pain persists, a precisely targeted injection delivered to the source under imaging.
Advanced options
For the few who need more, minimally invasive interventional procedures — with surgery as a last resort.
Treatment is matched to your specific diagnosis at your visit. The options shown reflect NASPAC's general approach and should be confirmed against the practice's verified procedure list.
Still have questions?
Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible — most workers' compensation systems require prompt reporting. Seek medical evaluation, even if the injury feels minor. A documented evaluation creates the clinical record that supports your claim and ensures you're treated appropriately from the start rather than discovering a more serious injury weeks later.
Yes. We evaluate and treat work-related injuries and can work within the workers' compensation framework. If you have a workers' comp claim, let us know when you call — our team can guide you through the documentation and authorization steps.
Lower back strains and sprains are the most frequent, followed by shoulder injuries, knee injuries, and upper-extremity conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and lateral epicondylitis. Repetitive-motion disorders and overexertion injuries account for a large share of work-related musculoskeletal cases across both physical and desk-based jobs.
As soon as possible — ideally within the first few days. Early evaluation documents the injury accurately, catches anything serious before it worsens, and gets treatment started when it will do the most good. Waiting weeks or months to be seen often makes both the injury and the claim harder to manage.
