Mysuru: Did you know that nearly 60% of the people in India suffer from low
back pain at some time during their lifespan? Though most patients recover with minor treatment, some cases require surgical intervention.
Hence, with an aim to address the rising issues of back pain which is a growing concern in India and to create awareness on discectomy, Columbia Asia Hospital Mysore (A unit of Manipal Hospitals) is organizing a
webinar on discectomy this Saturday, July 31 at 11 AM. There is no registration fee to attend the webinar.
Please call 09620030123 for registration and link to participate in the webinar will be shared by the hospital.
Lifestyle changes and a sedentary lifestyle have increased the rate of back problems in the younger generation in our country. Covid 19 and the subsequent work from home has further increased the complications.
Minimum or zero physical activity and not following proper posture while sitting during work from home has led to many people suffering from back pain.
Along with these factors, one can also suffer from back pain due to injury, sports/work-
related activity and some medical conditions. But this pain should not stop one from doing the work that they love. There are various treatments available which are safe, accurate and provide fast pain relief. Few surgeries can also help in giving you better relief in a short period of time.
Commenting on the rising issue of back pain and the procedure, Dr Maqsood Ahmed,
