What triggers arthritis in neck?

My orthopedist explained that cervical arthritis (neck arthritis) can be triggered by age-related wear and tear of the cartilage, disc degeneration, repetitive neck movements, or even old whiplash injuries. Poor posture, especially looking down at phones for long periods, is a huge factor he mentioned for younger patients too.

Often, it's just wear and tear over time. Sometimes bad posture or an old injury can also cause it. Please consult a doctor to understand your specific triggers and treatment.

Dude, probably all the time we spend looking down at our phones and laptops for assignments! 😅 Plus, sometimes just bad sleeping positions. My grandma has it and says weather changes also make it worse for her. But yeah, mostly posture for us younger peeps I think.

Many things can trigger it. For older people, it's often natural wear and tear. For working people, continuously looking down at a computer or phone can be a big factor. Using a good pillow and taking breaks from screen time can help prevent it, but if it's already there, consult a doctor for pain management and exercises.

Dekho, neck arthritis usually comes from a mix of things. Old age, bad posture, long hours at desk jobs, or sometimes an old injury that didn't heal properly. You need to get it checked by a bone doctor. Don't just sit and guess, bhai.
