Back and neck injuries are often referred to as “soft tissue injuries.” Insurance companies in particular like to refer to neck and back injuries as such so that they can undervalue the victims’ claims and the injured person that they simply need to go on with their lives. The severity of back and neck injuries are difficult to evaluate without an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). It is usual for medical providers to authorize this treatment because of cost as well as it the MRI shows the victim has a, small fracture, a bulging disc or herniated disc the insurance company will probably have to pay more money.
If an injured person has a herniated disc, a small fracture or a bulging, disc, the victim may not be able to resume a normal lifestyle. That person may also suffer chronic pain. An injured worker with a neck or back injury also may not be able to continue as before at a manual labor job or even sitting in a chair in an office of eight hour days.
