SAVANNAH, Ga. - Oct. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- But this problem is becoming more common and many young individuals are approaching orthopedic consultants to get a diagnosis. Do you know the cause of the backache and joint pain?

Vitamin D deficiency, claim orthopedic specialists from Optim Health[http://www.optimhealth.com/]. These specialists have gone one record to state that they are getting more youngsters and young adults who come to them for joint and back aches and pains.

“A large number of our young patients complain of leg pain, lethargy and joint pain. These symptoms occur due to low levels of vitamins D2 and D3,” said a senior orthopedic consultant at Optim Health. “It is alarming to see so many young people being diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency. It is a sign they aren’t spending enough time outdoors, in the sun.”

“There is a tremendous increase in youngster and young adults being diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency that orthopedic specialists and other healthcare professionals are sitting up and taking note of this problem,” he further added. “Parents are shocked to hear that their teens have joint problems, as these youngsters are supposed to have healthy and strong bones and joints.”

There is a reason for this increase in incidences where young men and women are complaining of joint aches and pains.

Research in this area of medicine and health has found that Vitamin D deficiency tends to rear its ugly head every 10 years or so. If you compare the findings, it is evident the urban populace tends to have more complaints associated with joints and bones.

Deficiency of this vitamin makes an appearance while the fetus is developing in the womb. If the pregnant woman has Vitamin D deficiency, the fetus too will not have sufficient amounts of the vitamin. And, this deficiency will be present at birth.

Studies have also shown a lot of young adults today spend time sitting in front of a computer because of their jobs. Such individuals often complain of joint problems. In fact, there was a young female patient who sustained a fracture without a slip or fall. It was revealed her fracture had occurred due to brittle bones brought on by Vitamin D deficiency.

Sunlight is the best source of ensuring you never suffer from Vitamin D deficiency. However, most of us do not spend enough time in the sun, even when the weather is salubrious to spending time outdoors. Parents no longer encourage children to spend time outdoors, as these kids are stuck to tablets, computers and video games. So, it is natural that the population will have a Vitamin D deficiency and couple that with sedentary and inactive lifestyle, you will end up with unhealthy joints and bones.

Unfortunately, the problem is further aggravated with our unhealthy eating habits. Parents are too tired after a long day at work to prepare a healthy and balanced diet. So, kids end up eating fast foods, and low calcium diets that do offer enough nourishment and nutrients to the bones to grow and develop healthily. So, why are we surprised at our teens and young adults complaining of joint pains and backaches?

“Thankfully, medical science has advanced sufficiently to allow healthcare practitioners to detect a Vitamin D deficiency,” state health experts from Optimhealth. “By adopting a healthy lifestyle, eating bone-healthy food and engaging in regular exercise, kids, teens and young adults can reverse this deficiency and ensure optimal bone and joint health.”

“Young adults and kids can ensure Vitamin D formation by exposing their skin to UV-B rays from the sun. In addition, they can get the vitamin through animal and plant sources,” states Internal Medicine specialist from Optim Health.

So, if you have joint pains and frequent backaches, don’t neglect them. Visit a doctor immediately. You could be suffering from Vitamin D deficiency.
