India, October 20: Every year, on 16th October, people from around the world come together on World Spine Day to raise awareness about spinal disorders and empower others to take charge of their spinal health. With an estimated one billion people worldwide suffering from back pain, it affects all age groups, from children to the elderly. It is the biggest single cause of disability on the planet, with 1 to 5% of adults estimated to suffer from back pain during their lives.
“Increase in sedentary lifestyle is having a profound negative impact on our health and especially our spines. Back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders are on the rise, and Indians of all ages are suffering. The good news is that it is possible to prevent such spinal health issues without the need for drastic measures. Regular physical activity, good posture, lifting safely, healthy working conditions, and lifestyle adjustments can improve spinal health and overall well-being. One should be mindful of posture throughout the day and try to correct it as soon as possible when you find yourself slipping into awkward positions especially stop looking down at devices. Instead, hold or set your phone at eye level and when you’re at your PC, position your screen high enough so you can look straight out at it rather than down. Your spine should be in one straight line from the top of your head to your tailbone,” Says Vijay Dhawangale while addressing a virtual conference for the members of the International Plasma Forum on the eve of World Spine Day 2022.
