Increasing incidence of spine disorders due to changing lifestyles: Dr. Pankaj Trivedi

Expert in endoscopic spine surgery Dr. Pankaj Trivedi, located in the city, said that the 21st century has seen a rise in spine-related issues linked to lifestyle changes, including obesity and sedentary habits.

He added that after exercising weights, a 25-year-old Canadian citizen named Harmanpreet Singh, whose parents are from Ropar, Punjab, had crippling back pain. He was unable to stand or walk more than a few feet as the pain became worse over time, hurting his left leg and severely impairing his mobility.

His illness worsened despite receiving conservative therapies in Canada, such as medication, injections, rest, and a spine injection, which left him confined to his bed and house.
