Cervical disc herniation (often referred to as 'neck hernia') can arise from several contributing factors. The primary causes include:
* Sustained poor posture, particularly working or remaining in a forward-bent or slouched neck position for extended periods.
* Prolonged use of electronic devices such as computers or televisions, which often leads to the neck being held in a flexed forward posture.
* Traumatic incidents or accidents that exert significant strain on the cervical spine.
* Insufficient physical activity or lack of regular exercise.
