First, regardless, you need to report it as workers' compensation for notice purposes. But the exact answer requires more information. It would be important as to what you actually do in your job and what type of chair you are sitting in, your age, whether you were working on the floor, etc. As you describe it, your work doesn't sound like it was a factor in the incident. If work was not a factor, we call that a idiopathic condition that could of happened anywhere but just happened to happen on the job. That would not be covered. Both with more information, it might be.
