Medical experts report a rise in back pain and spinal issues among all age groups, particularly young adults in their 20s to 40s, attributing this trend to modern sedentary lifestyles. Prolonged sitting, poor posture, reduced physical activity, and increased screen time strain the spine, leading to muscle weakness and stiffness. Doctors emphasize the spine's need for regular movement and recommend lifestyle changes to improve spinal health and prevent chronic pain.
