Osteoporosis (click for worldwide facilities list): Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile, brittle, and more likely to break. In most cases, bones weaken when you have low levels of calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals in your bones. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wris
Any bone can be affected, but of special concern are fractures of the hip and spine. A hip fracture almost always requires hospitalization and major surgery. It can impair a person's ability to walk unassisted and may cause prolonged or permanent disability or even death. Spinal or vertebral fractures also have serious consequences, including loss of height, severe back pain, and deformity.
Osteoporosis is largely preventable for most people. Prevention of this disease is very important because, while there are treatments for osteoporosis, there is currently no cure.
Treatment for osteoporosis includes:
Hormone therapy:
Hormone therapy (HT) was once the mainstay of treatment for osteoporosis. Because of concerns about its safety and because other treatments are available, the role of hormone therapy in managing osteoporosis is changing. Most problems have been linked to certain oral types of HT, either taken in combination with progestin or alone. If you're interested in hormone therapy, other forms are available, including patches, creams, and the vaginal ring.
If HT isn't for you, and lifestyle changes don't help control your osteoporosis, prescription drugs can help slow bone loss and may even increase bone density over time. They include: Bisphosphonates, Raloxifene (Evista), Calcitonin, Teriparatide (Forteo), andTamoxifen.
A new physical therapy program using a device called a spinal weighted kypho-orthosis (WKO), has been shown to significantly reduce back pain, improve posture and reduce the risk of falls in women with osteoporosis who also have curvature of the spine.
