For work, that's a pain in the neck...

Each year, there are approximately 209,000 work-related injuries affecting the neck. - NIOSH

The average number of days off work for sprains, strains, and tears was 26.6 days. These numbers do not include self-employed workers, private households, farms, and government employees. - US Bureau of Labor Statistics 2016

Work-related neck injuries are significant in both health and economic terms.

When other expenses are considered:

• cost of rehabilitating the affected workers
• lost wages
• lost production
• cost of recruiting and training replacement workers

The total cost to the United States economy in 2021 is estimated to be $13 billion annually in worker compensation.
