Every year on October 19, the world comes together to observe World Paediatric Bone and Joint Day—a day dedicated to raising awareness about musculoskeletal health in children and adolescents. At Oxymed Hospital Chennai, we believe that strong bones and healthy joints in childhood are the foundation for lifelong mobility and wellbeing.
Bones and joints play a vital role in every child’s growth, movement, and development. However, many parents tend to overlook early warning signs such as joint pain, posture problems, or delayed motor skills.
