“COULD MY CHRONIC NECK PAIN BE COMPUTER-RELATED?”
An in-office examination is always required for a proper diagnosis, but some cases of chronic neck pain are indeed due to poor desk posture. Cervical disc herniation — also called neck disc herniation — has causes and symptoms similar to lumbar herniated disc, which we discussed in an earlier blog post. These include aging, major and minor trauma, poor diet, tobacco use and a sedentary lifestyle.
