Dr. Pradyumna R's Expert View

Joint and back problems are no longer limited to older adults. Today, an increasing number of young people are experiencing knee pain, shoulder injuries, neck pain, and back problems due to sedentary lifestyles, prolonged screen time, poor posture, obesity, and inadequate physical activity. Long hours spent sitting and repetitive strain place excessive stress on the joints and spine, leading to early wear and tear and a higher risk of sports and overuse injuries.

The good news is that many of these conditions are preventable. Regular exercise, strength training, maintaining a healthy weight, practising good posture, and taking frequent breaks from prolonged sitting can significantly reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Early evaluation of persistent pain is equally important, as timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment often prevent long-term complications and the need for major surgery.

This Doctors’ Day, I encourage everyone—especially young adults—not to ignore recurring joint or back pain. Investing in bone and joint health today through an active lifestyle, preventive care, and timely medical consultation will help ensure lifelong mobility, independence, and a better quality of life
