Increasing Back and Neck Pain Among Young Adults Linked to Sedentary Lifestyles
Back and neck pain are increasingly affecting young adults, especially those spending long hours on computers, virtual meetings, or smartphones. Modern sedentary lifestyles, prolonged sitting without movement breaks, and poor workstation setups contribute to muscular discomfort and stiffness. Factors such as reduced physical activity, sleep quality, previous injuries, and stress also influence spinal health. Experts highlight the importance of regular movement and ergonomic practices to mitigate these issues among young professionals.
