Dr. Hitesh Garg said, “We are getting two sets of patients; one is the group of patients who, after recovering from Covid-19, stopped going out. Their activity levels decreased and subsequently this led to increase in their weight, resulting in pain and stiffness in weight bearing joints. Similarly, in the other set of patients, we are seeing an increase in the number of people suffering from arthritis as we are receiving cases of joint pain mainly due to the new work from home culture.”
As a part of the awareness drive, the hospital also organized ‘Safe Spine Surgery Month’ in the premises. The team urged people to always take precautionary measures to avoid any complications.
