Increasing Cervical, Back, and Leg Pain Among Generation Z Linked to Lifestyle Factors

Cervical, back, and leg pain are increasingly common among Generation Z, attributed mainly to prolonged screen time, poor posture, stress, and sedentary lifestyles. Experts highlight that extended periods of sitting, frequent use of electronic devices, and lack of physical activity weaken muscles and impair blood flow, leading to discomfort and potential nerve issues. These pains can affect daily functioning and may worsen without early intervention, emphasizing the need for healthier habits and timely medical consultation.
