Yes, of course. If you look down the sides of your fret board, you will see that there is a hump in the neck right about where it meets the body. This happens because many manufacturers do not consider string tension when they sand the fret boards flat. Humps in the board can also be caused from age and wood warping over time. Depending on the size of the hump, you may need to have fret board work done which will require at least a partial re-fret and an LCP.
