Incrementing DB values

Is there a way in CI4 to increment a value in a database in one query?

I would like to be able to do something like:

Code:

UPDATE table set field = field+5 where some_condition

I know I can do this:

PHP Code:

$db->query('UPDATE table set field = field+5 where some_condition'); 


I am just wondering if there is a way to do it without having to write the query myself.
