Back pain is increasingly reported among individuals in their late 20s, often driven by lifestyle choices rather than age. Dr. Bharat S. Mody, Chairman and Chief Orthopaedic Surgeon at Welcare Hospital, identifies five daily habits that contribute to this issue. Prolonged sitting and poor posture lead to mechanical back pain and muscle fatigue. A sedentary lifestyle weakens back-supporting muscles, while improper exercise techniques can result in injuries. Additionally, weight gain shifts body balance, increasing stress on the spine. Chronic stress and poor sleep further exacerbate discomfort. Dr. Mody emphasizes that while most back pain is manageable through lifestyle changes, symptoms lasting longer than three to four weeks or accompanied by numbness or weakness should prompt medical attention. Early intervention through improved posture, regular movement, and stress management can significantly enhance spinal health.
