But we often observe that they show ignorance about health issue and seek treatment from traditional healer.

The extent of the musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) problem is not well understood among Canadian farmers, and little too is known about their epidemiology [2]. Due to lack of up-to-date data same scenario is observing in our country. Though systematic review identified the prevalence of MSDs by body region in farmers and established that low back pain was the most common MSD, followed by upper and then lower extremity MSDs [3]. Reported trends suggest that the prevalence of MSDs in farmers is greater than in non-farmer populations [3]. This is why current study was an attempt to explore the present scenario of musculoskeletal condition of farmers in northern part of our country.
