We know that injuries can take months or years to heal. Then there are catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries or spinal injuries, that profoundly impact your daily life and prevent you from returning to work as expected. Sometimes, you may have thought everything was fine, but as things heal, you realize that your neck or shoulder doesn’t feel “right.”
