Introduction -->\n<h2><strong>What is Neck Pain?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Neck pain is one of the most common health problems in modern cities, especially among office workers and students in Hong Kong. Common causes include prolonged use of mobile phones or computers, poor posture, muscle strain, disc degeneration, and excessive stress. Although less common, some cases of neck pain may be linked to other health factors such as poor sleep quality or even digestive issues.
