Modern Desk Life Breaking Your Back: Neurosurgeon Warns on Spinal Damage

• Dr. Gaurav Batra, Neurosurgeon, Max Hospital, Vaishali, warns modern desk life causes back pain, stiff neck, and sore spines in all ages.
• Sedentary behavior, poor posture, and screen addiction weaken spinal muscles, reduce blood flow to discs, and lead to pain and flexibility loss.
• Slouching, forward head tilt, and constant downward gazing at phones are now considered medical red flags.
• Ignoring poor posture for years can lead to permanent spinal deformities, emphasizing prevention over later treatment.
• Prevention includes regular exercise, stretching, yoga, standing every 30 minutes, ergonomic chairs, and limiting screen time.

Why It Matters: Modern sedentary habits and poor posture are damaging spines; prevention is key to avoiding permanent issues.
