New Delhi: In today’s time, it is quite common for someone in almost every household to complain of back pain, knee pain, or difficulty in movement. Conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, bursitis, osteoarthritis, and Paget’s disease are increasingly being reported. In many cases, doctors even recommend prolonged treatment or surgery.
These bone-related problems are often attributed solely to calcium deficiency. While this is partly true, it does not present the complete picture. Many people consume milk, curd, and other dairy products from childhood, yet still develop issues related to the spine and joints. This raises an important question—what is the real cause?
In reality, maintaining the health of the spine and joints requires not only calcium but also an adequate amount of vitamin D. Both work together to strengthen bones, and the absence of either can compromise bone health.
