The Cause of Osteoporosis

There are several risk factors that can increase your chances of developing osteoporosis. For example, a family history of fractures can be a red flag, especially if you are going through menopause and have other risk factors. If you notice any risk factors, reach out to our osteoporosis clinic for assistance.

Risk Factors To Keep In Mind

• Family history of fractures.
• Aging (reduced bone production)
• Woman going through Menopause (reduced estrogen levels)
• Men in later stages of life (decreased levels of testosterone)
• Poor nutrition and bad eating habits (low calcium)
• Smoking
• Alcohol abuse
• Lack of regular exercise
• Certain medications, like steroids and anticonvulsants
• Certain illnesses, like thyroid disease or bone cancer

Treating Osteoporosis

Bone fractures in your spine, wrists, or hips are usually the first indication of osteoporosis. As your bone disease progresses, you may notice tenderness or pain in your neck or lower back. Though subtle at first, we encourage our patients not to ignore these early symptoms and take notice of pains and aches as they start to develop. Osteoporosis can also affect your posture, causing loss of height.

Luckily, the pain from osteoporosis can be relieved with treatment, which can help prevent faster degradation of bone and reduce the risk of traumatic falls—the primary cause of fractures. We may recommend supplements like calcium and vitamin D, along with other lifestyle adjustments to slow down bone loss. For some patients, medications may be more effective for reducing the risk of fractures and preventing further bone loss. However, we recognize that everyone is unique, and depending on your individual needs, we will make the necessary recommendations to help ease you into a better lifestyle that you can enjoy without the pains and aches holding you back.
