Is Stiff neck is an example of hypertrophy?
No, a stiff neck (also called torticollis) is not an example of hypertrophy. A stiff neck is simply a problem of one or more muscles of the neck going into protective spasm to prevent further injury or compromise to the joints of the spine or the nerves of the neck or spinal cord. The neck muscles become tense, rigid and prevent movement, and as they do they might stand out a bit more than usual, but that is not hypertrophy. Hypertrophy is a phenomenon in a living organism, like the human body, a fish, or a blade of grass, in which an area or group of cells become larger typically because of increased demands of work placed on them.
