Work-Related Injury Treatment in Northwest Indiana
Work-related injuries can inflict lasting pain and put your future ability to work at risk. At LBJI Urgent Care, you can walk in without an appointment, be examined by an orthopedic specialist, and leave with a personalized recovery plan.
We treat everything from job-related joint pain to construction site injuries, and we make the workers’ comp process easier to navigate.
What Are Work-Related Injuries?
Work can take a toll on your body in ways you don’t always notice at first. A single fall, an awkward twist, or weeks of repeating the same motion can leave you with deep, lasting pain.
We see these occupational injuries in nurses, delivery drivers, machinists, and office staff who spend hours at a desk. When left untreated, they can lead to lost time and, in some cases, long-term complications.
Prompt workplace injury treatment helps stop that cycle. The right care can reduce pain, restore mobility, and help you work safely without risking more significant problems down the road.
Common Types of Work-Related Injuries We Treat
We treat a wide range of workplace injury treatment cases, with quick access to orthopedic specialists, on-site imaging, and clear recovery plans. Here are some of the most common conditions we help patients with every day:
Repetitive Strain Injuries
Typing, scanning, lifting, or using tools for long periods can lead to wrist, elbow, or shoulder pain. We treat repetitive strain injuries early to reduce inflammation, ease discomfort, and prevent permanent joint or tendon damage.
Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders
Back, neck, and joint pain are common across physically demanding and desk-based jobs. We provide targeted relief for work-related musculoskeletal disorders, so you can move comfortably and avoid further stress on your muscles or joints.
Construction Site Injuries
Construction sites are high-risk environments where falls, equipment mishaps, and heavy impacts can lead to broken bones, severe sprains, and muscle or tendon injuries. Our team will work quickly to stabilize you, run diagnostics, and set you up for recovery on the same day.
Slip, Trip, and Fall Injuries
A fall at work can knock you out of your routine and off the job. We act quickly with imaging, stabilization, and a clear follow-up plan to minimize downtime and prevent setbacks.
Overexertion & Lifting Injuries
These are some of the most avoidable and most common problems we see. A poorly done lift can sideline you for weeks. We treat these injuries with immediate pain relief, movement support, and a plan to help you safely return to full strength without risking a setback.
Workers’ Compensation Cases
Workplace injuries are stressful enough without having to chase down paperwork. Our team will help you stay on top of your workers’ comp claim from the very beginning.
Best Treatments for Work-Related Injuries
Getting hurt on the job can be painful and confusing in equal measure, especially when you’re not sure what’s wrong or where to go. At LBJI Urgent Care, we streamline the entire process. You’ll get quick answers, clear guidance, and everything you need to start healing, all in one place.
Our most common services include:
- Digital imaging (X-rays and ultrasound) to quickly identify sprains, fractures, and joint problems
- Splinting and bracing to support injured areas and protect movement
- Medication and injections to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and speed up healing
- Referrals to orthopedic specialists or surgeons when additional care is required
- Follow-up visits to monitor your recovery and make adjustments as needed
Each workplace injury treatment plan is based on the type of work you do and the severity of the issue. Whether it’s repetitive strain or construction site occupational injuries, our goal is to help you recover fully and return to work in good shape.

Once your injury is diagnosed and stabilized, the next step is recovery, and that’s where the broader LBJI team comes in.
