The session revolved around spine issues, red flags that you should look out for when to consult a <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/india\/treatments\/spine-surgery\">spine<\/a> specialist, and <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/blogs\/english\/doctors-hospitals\/how-good-is-brigham-and-womens-minimally-invasive-gynecologic-surgery\/\">women&#8217;s<\/a> spine health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The session was full of takeaways and learnings.

He mentioned the leading cause of spinal issues today &#8211; Mechanical Pain. As we age, our spine changes. To be specific, degenerative changes. This process accelerates when the wear and tear is more due to activities like heavy lifting or too much work. Other reasons behind back pain include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Major <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/blogs\/english\/international-health-news\/world-trauma-day-2023\/\">trauma<\/a> leading to persistent <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/india\/treatments\/stem-cell-treatment-for-chronic-back-pain\">back pain<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Infections like Spinal TB lead to weakness in limbs as they affect nerve tissues.

In females, the calcium levels are regulated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/blogs\/english\/health-a2z\/dysmenorrhoea-menstrual-cramps\/\">menstrual<\/a> cycle. But as they achieve <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/blogs\/english\/health-a2z\/home-remedies-for-menopause\/\">menopause<\/a>, rapid decline in bone mass occurs due to hormonal changes, leading to <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/india\/treatments\/osteoporosis-treatment\">osteoporosis<\/a>. The spine is one of the most affected areas here. Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/blogs\/english\/doctors-hospitals\/spinal-decompression-and-or-fusion-surgery-hospitals-in-mumbai\/\">spinal compression<\/a> also starts occurring due to a decline in bone mass, leading to back pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why does Mechanical Pain Mainly occur in IT Professionals?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There are two primary reasons as to why mechanical pain occurs in IT professionals:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/blogs\/english\/health-a2z\/affordable-abnormal-uterine-bleeding-treatment-in-delhi\/\">Abnormal<\/a> posture and sitting in one place for long hours.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/blogs\/english\/health-a2z\/macular-degeneration-treatment-cost\/\">Degeneration<\/a> of spinal muscles (that hold the spine).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What Red Flags One Should Look For That Indicate Issues With The Spine Health?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Progressively increasing <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/india\/treatments\/head-and-neck-cancer-treatment\">neck<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/blogs\/english\/health-a2z\/9-most-common-reasons-for-chronic-back-pain-and-slip-disc\/\">back pain<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Weakness starts in the upper limbs and then lower limbs due to compression of spinal <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/india\/treatments\/uterosacral-nerve-ablation\">nerves<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/india\/treatments\/bladder-cancer-treatment\">Bladder<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/india\/treatments\/irritable-bowel-syndrome-treatment\">bowel<\/a> problems.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dr. Kaul then explained the anatomy of our spine. Our spine consists of three parts &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/india\/treatments\/gynecology_cervical_cautery\">cervical<\/a> (7 discs), thorax (12 discs), and <a href=\"https:\/\/gomedii.com\/blogs\/english\/treatments\/lumbar-disc-disease-treatment-in-india\/\">Lumbar<\/a> (5 discs). The cervical and lumbar areas degenerate faster due to more movement than the thorax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There is one difference that Dr. Kaul highlighted &#8211; the difference between back pain and progressive back pain. While mechanical back pain can be managed with conservative therapies, progressive back pain generally requires surgical interventions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How Can We Take Care Of Our Spine?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dr. Rahul Kaul highlighted that not all spinal pain requires treatment. It can be managed with specific changes in their lifestyle and medicines at times, like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Physical activity is essential to maintain the health of your spine.
