The wind, cold and damp factors in the external environment can make the neck muscle spasm, small blood vessel constriction, resulting in soft tissue blood circulation disorders, over time, it will cause cervical spondylosis.
Bad posture

For example, a long time lying down to watch TV, dozing in the car is a very damaged cervical spine move.
Deficiency of the body
Poor nutrition, depression, less activity and other factors may lead to a decline in physical fitness, liver and kidney deficiency, tendons and veins lose nourishment. Once the kidney deficiency will be sore and weak, bone calcium loss and degeneration, if it happens to be overworked or cold and damp attack will easily lead to cervical spine problems.
