Neck injuries are extremely serious and neck pain should not be taken lightly. Although neck strains do occur, very often an underlying condition has been aggravated by a workers' compensation injury. Neck pain can also cause referred pain in the head in the form of headaches, and into the upper back and shoulders, as well as into the legs if nerve impingement exists. Treatment for neck injuries is often controverted by the insurance company because they are aware of the expense of treating neck injuries, especially where surgery is involved. With an experienced workers' compensation attorney representing your case, you can get the treatment you are entitled to.
Neck injuries require the treatment from a neurosurgeon if surgery is required. In some cases, orthopedists that specialize in the thoracic and lumbar spine (middle and lower back) also treat cervical or neck injuries. We work hard to find the best doctors in your area because we want to rest assured nothing is over looked in your workers' compensation injury. We are able to use the Board Rules an the Georgia Workers' Compensation Act to make sure you are thoroughly evaluated. Settlement is not our number one goal. Getting you medical treatment and feeling better is.
