It can occur in any part of the body," Dr. Sharma said. It is due to the lifestyle of people today who try to move the body according to their own. Not sleeping or waking up on time, eating fast food in the diet, not exercising, taking drugs, mental stress and pollution etc. are the main reasons. In addition to this, in today's technological age, mobile phones, increasing use of computers and vibrations of the internet are also becoming the cause of this disease.
