Osteoporosis Treatment

Building Stronger Bones: Osteoporosis Treatment and Management at Medace Clinic

Osteoporosis, a condition characterized by bone loss and increased risk of fractures, can significantly impact your mobility and independence. At Medace Clinic, we understand the importance of bone health and offer comprehensive evaluation, treatment, and management plans to help you build stronger bones and prevent fractures.

Treatments

Understanding Osteoporosis:

Osteoporosis weakens bone density and structure, making them more prone to fractures, even from minor falls. While it’s more common in older adults, especially postmenopausal women, osteoporosis can affect people of all ages and genders.

Risk Factors for Osteoporosis:

Several factors can increase your risk of developing osteoporosis, including:

  • Age: Bone mass naturally declines with age.
  • Gender: Women are at a higher risk due to hormonal changes after menopause.
  • Family history: Having a close relative with osteoporosis increases your risk.
  • Body type: Petite or thin individuals are at a higher risk.
  • Diet: Calcium and vitamin D deficiencies can contribute to osteoporosis.
  • Lifestyle factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity weaken bones.
  • Certain medical conditions: Chronic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid problems can increase risk.
  • Medications: Long-term use of certain medications like steroids can weaken bones.

Symptoms of Osteoporosis:

Osteoporosis often progresses with minimal symptoms until a fracture occurs. However, some people may experience back pain, hunched posture, or a loss of height.

Diagnosis at Medace Clinic:

Early diagnosis is crucial for preventing fractures. Our doctors may utilize the following for diagnosis:

  • Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA scan): The gold standard for measuring bone mineral density.
  • Medical history and risk factor assessment: Discussing your medical history and lifestyle habits.

 

Treatment Options for Osteoporosis at Medace Clinic:

Medace Clinic offers a personalized approach to osteoporosis treatment, combining medication and lifestyle modifications:

  • Medications: Bisphosphonates, denosumab, and other medications can help slow bone loss and increase bone density.
  • Calcium and vitamin D supplements: These are essential for bone health.
  • Lifestyle changes: Regular weight-bearing exercises, a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, and smoking cessation are crucial.
  • Physical therapy: Exercises can improve balance, strength, and coordination to reduce fall risk.
