A significant health advisory has emerged from Sujanpur, Pathankot.
Renowned orthopedic specialist Dr. Angad Singh, practicing at PMC Hospital (a unit of EMC Hospitals), Sujanpur, Pathankot, recently raised serious concerns about the rising cases of back pain during a public health awareness campaign. He pointed out that modern lifestyle habits — such as prolonged sitting and excessive use of mobile phones and computers — are leading not only adults but also youth and students toward spinal health issues.
Dr. Singh emphasized that back pain is no longer an issue confined to the elderly. Alarmingly, it is becoming increasingly common among individuals aged 20 to 40, particularly those who spend 8 to 10 hours a day sitting or hunched over screens. Initially, people tend to ignore mild pain, but this negligence can eventually lead to severe conditions such as slipped discs, spinal compression, and nerve blockages.
Timely Action is Crucial
Dr. Angad Singh urged residents of Sujanpur and surrounding areas to adopt simple yet effective habits to prevent back problems:
✅ Maintain an upright posture while sitting.
✅ Ensure your back is fully supported by your chair.
✅ Position computer screens at eye level.
✅ Stand and walk for at least five minutes every hour.
✅ Incorporate yoga and light exercises into your daily routine.
He also announced that PMC Hospital, Sujanpur, Pathankot, has recently launched a state-of-the-art “Spine Health Clinic.”
The clinic offers comprehensive diagnostic, consultation, and modern treatment facilities for spinal disorders. Moreover, the experienced medical team there educates patients about proper sitting, walking, and lifting techniques to prevent recurring back issues.
Dr. Singh made a heartfelt appeal:
“The spine is the pillar of our body. If it becomes unstable, the overall quality of life deteriorates. I urge all citizens to stay aware, seek timely advice, and correct their sitting posture. A straight back leads to a smooth life!”
