Answer;

The above statement is false.


Radiculitis, which is also known as wryneck, is not caused by a viral infection.


Step-by-step explanation;

Radiculitis refers to pain that radiates along the nerve caused by inflammation at the root of its connection to the spinal column.

The most common causes of radiculitis are Disc herniations, bone spurs (osteophytes), and thickening of surrounding ligaments, among other causes.
