Orthopaedic Surgeon Advises How to Maintain Spine Health with Age

Orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Pushkar Chawla explains that while spine changes are natural with age, they don't have to cause constant pain. He highlights disc dehydration, muscle weakness, stiffness, posture changes, and wear as factors affecting spinal health. Dr. Chawla recommends regular low-impact exercise like walking, swimming, cycling, and yoga, plus strength training for core, back, hips, and legs to maintain spine strength and mobility.
