What Treatment Is Suggested For Damage Of The Upper Back & Shoulders?

Hi i have had a work related injury that i jave been told i have 3 slight pulging disk and perm. Damage to my soft tissue in my upper back and shoulders. They say there is nothing they can do for me. I dont know if there is anything other then an mri to my neck that they can do. I feel that them telling me they dont know what is exactly wrong or what treatment to do is not right. What else can they do i feel they are just pushing me to the side. It has been almost a year and now i cant work and i am in pain everyday. What can i do
