Rising Joint and Spine Problems in India: Causes and Prevention

This is because people sit at desks for a long time, don't move around much, and have bad posture.
This, along with not exercising and being stressed, is causing issues.
The good news is that these problems can be prevented by sitting up straight, moving around, and staying healthy.
Doctors are also using new ways to help people with these problems, like less invasive surgeries.
