Backache and neck pain have come as a corollary to the tremendous speed our lives have gathered. Let’s take a few examples. Sangeeta Parekh (42) works in a software company in Bavdhan. She suffered from neck pain for six long months and it was indeed a nightmarish experience for her. Ashutosh Pendse (50), a computer engineer, has had severe backache for almost a year.
Experts say that backache has become a chronic problem and is likely to affect as many as 80% of the Indian population in the near future.
Dr. Kiran Shete, founder and director, Spinology Clinic in Aundh said, “Spinal problems like spondylitis, spinal stenosis, and sciatica may end up in spinal surgeries. Almost all of it starts from regular neck pain and backache. One needs to have a strong spine to enjoy life.”
But remedies are in plenty and patients are looking for these pain relief techniques, said the experts.
Dr. Shailesh Hadgaonkar, Consultant Orthopedic and Spinal Surgeon, said, “Most of our jobs are done from chairs and in a sitting position. A sedentary lifestyle leads to back and neck problems which have increased significantly worldwide. In the UK, spine centres are expanding rapidly to match the treatment for the ailment.”
Dr. Shete said, “Fast food habits have taken away nutrition from our diets and spinal problems are becoming worse. In addition, working in the wrong posture for years has affected us badly. It will have a negative effect on our body, especially the spine.”
The lower part of the back offers support to most of the body weight and so suffers from the mechanical stress more than any other body part. Consequently it suffers injuries. Strained muscles or ligaments causing backache is the most common type, the experts think.
Narcotics based pain medicines, stretching, physical therapy, diet, acupuncture and holistic medicines have been a part of treatment in the past. Dr. Hadgaonkar said “Today, there are alternatives to narcotic type drugs when someone is not responding.”
He added, “Only the nerve-root block when combined with a careful history, physical examination, and radiographic studies, is an important tool in the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of patients with predominant lower limb radiating symptoms. Reproduction and temporary relief to a patient’s leg pain provides useful diagnostic and prognostic information, confirming clinical and radiographic findings. It may provide long-lasting therapeutic benefits, allowing the patient to participate in physical therapy and occasionally eliminate the need for surgery,” Hadgaonkar added.
Dr. Vinit Patil, a physiotherapist said, “After the pain blocks, patients feels better and are willing to undergo physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Interventional pain management techniques are done for blocking cyclic pain generators, helping the patients has pain-free intervals.”

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
