Work Injury

Work Injury Chiropractor
If you have a work injury, you have the legal right to seek treatment. You cannot be fired for reporting a work injury. In Oregon, you also have the right to choose the doctor you want. When you choose Graffeo Accident & Injury Clinic, you’re choosing a team of work injury specialists helping people in the Portland area for over 35 years.
Common Injuries
The most common work injuries aren’t obvious at first glance. Common injuries include:
- Pulled muscles
- Sprains
- Strains
- Slips
- Falls
- Pain from repetitive motion
If you’re hurt on the job, it’s important to report it to your employer right away, and to seek treatment as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to file a workers’ compensation claim.

Treatment
An injury may not hurt at first, but can cause pain if left untreated. Prescription pills can mask the pain, but chiropractic treatment leads to long-term healing. We treat the soft tissue damage that causes the pain. Our treatment plans cover everything from spinal rehabilitation to massage therapy.
