Osteoporosis & Bone Health

Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak, brittle, and more prone to fractures due to loss of bone density. It commonly affects older adults—especially women—but can occur at any age due to poor nutrition, hormonal changes, or lack of physical activity. Early detection through bone density tests, along with proper diet, supplements, exercise, and medical treatment, plays a key role in preventing fractures. Maintaining strong bones is essential for long-term mobility, independence, and quality of life.

Bone Health Management & Prevention
  • Regular bone density assessment to detect early signs of osteoporosis.
  • Nutrient-rich diet with adequate calcium, vitamin D, and essential minerals.
  • Weight-bearing and strengthening exercises to improve overall bone strength.
  • Medical treatments and supplements to slow bone loss and increase density.
  • Fall-prevention strategies and lifestyle modifications to reduce fracture risks.
