Pune — Highlighting an escalating public health concern, Dr. Ajay Kothari, a renowned spine surgeon in Pune, alongside Dr. Abhinav Bhute, recently launched their new book, Turn Your Back on Back Pain, published by Sakal Publications. The launch event was graced by Amruta Fadnavis, Founder of Divija Foundation, who emphasized that growing dependence on digital devices and sedentary lifestyles are major contributors to modern spine issues. Addressing the audience, Dr. Kothari noted a concerning trend: neck and back pain are no longer confined to older adults, with an increasing number of young people seeking treatment due to excessive screen time, reduced outdoor activity, and poor posture. Supported by medical leaders like Dr. Parag Sancheti, the book aims to cultivate awareness and encourage simple preventive measures, helping individuals make informed lifestyle choices before spinal problems become severe.
