Heavy lifting, overhead work, consistent twisting motions and other physical work can put a great deal of physical stress on your back and neck. When an injury happens to you, it is important that you get the compensation that you deserve.
Temporary and Permanent Back and Neck Injuries
There are many work activities that can cause temporary or permanent lower back, upper back and neck injuries, including:
- Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries
- Sciatica
- Bulging or herniated disks in the back or neck
- Cervical and lumbar area muscle strains and sprains

Severe neck and back injuries can cause victims to miss many normal activities, including work, and may require extensive medical care and treatment.
