Gurdaspur: Raising concerns over declining bone health, Abrol Hospital, a unit of EMC Hospitals, has appealed to residents to identify early warning signs of bone weakness before the condition becomes severe. Senior specialist Dr. Tanveer Ali emphasized that bone deterioration does not always manifest as fractures. Instead, it often progresses silently, gradually affecting the body over time.
Dr. Tanvere Ali explained that today’s fast-paced yet sedentary lifestyle, irregular dietary habits, calcium and Vitamin D deficiencies, advancing age, hormonal imbalances, and prolonged screen exposure are steadily weakening bones from within. Many individuals tend to overlook early symptoms, mistaking them for routine fatigue or age-related changes, which may delay timely diagnosis and treatment of serious conditions. According to Dr. Ali, early signs of bone weakness are subtle and may include persistent back pain, joint stiffness, frequent muscle cramps, general weakness, slight loss of height, and ongoing pain without a clear cause.
Identifying these warning signs at an early stage can help prevent serious conditions such as osteoporosis. Women, particularly after menopause, are at greater risk and should exercise additional caution.
He further highlighted that “prevention is the best treatment” and encouraged individuals to adopt simple lifestyle modifications. A balanced diet rich in calcium and protein, regular exercise such as walking or yoga, daily sunlight exposure, and periodic bone density tests are crucial in maintaining bone strength. Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption is equally important, as both significantly compromise bone quality.
With advanced diagnostic facilities and a team of experienced specialists, Abrol Hospital provides timely diagnosis and effective treatment for bone-related disorders. Dr. Tanveer Ali urged people of all age groups not to ignore the body’s warning signals and to seek medical consultation promptly for a healthier future.
“Awareness is protection — paying attention today ensures strength tomorrow,” he said.
