KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals Marks World Spine Day 2024 with Global Awareness Initiative and Launch of Spine Screening Health Package



Hyderabad, October 15, 2024 – KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals is proud to participate in World Spine Day 2024, a global initiative that emphasizes the importance of spine health and the prevention of spinal pain and disability. Under the theme "Support Your Spine," this campaign encourages people worldwide to adopt evidence-based strategies for maintaining a healthy spine.


Spinal disorders are becoming an increasing concern, particularly in India, where research suggests that 60% of the population will experience significant spine-related issues during their lifetime. The rise in desk jobs among younger individuals has led to a surge in spinal problems, resulting in more frequent consultations. At the same time, elderly people, living more independent lifestyles, are increasingly seeking the benefits of surgical interventions. The KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals' spine team emphasizes the growing prevalence of spine issues, many of which can be effectively managed through outpatient care, pain management procedures like spinal injections, and surgical treatments. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries have become the preferred solution, thanks to advancements in technology.


To mark World Spine Day, KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals, Begumpet, will host a special awareness press meet to launch a Spine Screening Health Package. Experts will address common spine issues and discuss the latest treatment options available to patients.


Key lifestyle factors such as poor posture, sedentary jobs, and stressful environments significantly contribute to the rise in spine-related conditions. Early intervention is crucial, as untreated spinal disorders can worsen, often making surgery the only viable option. The Department of Spine Surgery at KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals is recognized for its state-of-the-art facilities and minimally invasive techniques, helping patients recover faster and regain their quality of life. Dr. A.V. Gurava Reddy, Chairman of the Sunshine Bone & Joint Institute and MD of KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals, reaffirms the hospital's dedication to advancing spine care.
