Understanding Osteoporosis: Prevention and Treatment

Osteoporosis is a silent condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and prone to fractures. It often develops without symptoms, which is why regular screening is essential, especially for older adults and those with risk factors like a family history of the condition. At Guru Raghavendra Orthopedic Hospital, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. Our approach includes bone density tests, medications to strengthen bones, and lifestyle recommendations to prevent further bone loss. Preventing osteoporosis begins with a healthy lifestyle. A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercises, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are key steps to maintaining strong bones. If you’re at risk or already diagnosed with osteoporosis, our team is here to help you build a plan for healthier, stronger bones. At Guru Raghavendra Orthopedic Hospital, our physiotherapists design personalized rehabilitation programs tailored to your condition and goals. We use a combination of exercises, manual therapy, and advanced techniques like electrotherapy and ultrasound therapy to enhance recovery. Beyond recovery, physiotherapy also helps prevent future injuries and improves overall musculoskeletal health. With expert guidance, you can return to your daily activities stronger and more confident than ever.
