San Diego Workers' Compensation Attorney For Back and Neck Injuries

                      Did you hurt your back or neck at work?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you know that a back injury is the most common type of injury in the Workers’ Compensation system?

   A neck or back injury can occur for many reasons. The most common neck or low back injury involves a sprain or strain. A sprain is an injury to the ligaments, while a strain is an injury to the muscles. These work injuries are typically caused by repeated lifting motions, carrying a heavy load, a slip and fall as well as whiplash injuries due to car or truck accidents.

 

   Regardless of the cause of your injury, it can be painful and

debilitating. While your pain symptoms are usually located at

the source of the sprain or strain, sometimes your pain will

radiate to your hands with a neck injury or to your legs with

a low back injury. This radiating pain or numbness and tingling

of your limbs can mean you have a disc herniation. Identifying

the cause of your pain and potential treatment options requires

a knowledgeable physician along with proper diagnostic testing.

Conservative treatment therapies such as physical therapy,

chiropractic treatment or acupuncture may be of benefit to you

early in the case, while steroid injections are also used to treat

inflammation and pain. Surgery is the last resort for many serious

spine injuries.
