Osteoporosis is related to bone density and is more commonly seen among older women. It affects spine so in a patient suffering from Osteoporosis, you can notice shrinkage in height, poor posture, etc. Our therapists can guide and can take care of your condition if you are seeing any of the discussed signs. Although it’s difficult to sight it at initial stages, we yet recommend you to pay attention towards lightest symptoms.
A painful fracture is the most common sign which helps one detect the presence of Osteoporosis. Some patients can even fail stress fracture while walking. Curving of spine, chronic back pain and a hump-back are few other symptoms. Strength of bone matters the most if you want to be safe from Osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis takes place when the bone density decreases, which ultimately makes your bone fragile. The fractures in this case happen in the form of cracking and collapsing. Various therapies are used to treat various conditions associated with Osteoporosis. Genetic factors are considered to have an impact on one’s bones density.
At Gatton Physiotherapy we ensure health and happiness to our patients so we recommend women of older age to never ignore any pain in bone and get it treated from expert therapists. In women, hormones too play an important role in maintaining bone density. Lack of estrogen can cause upto 25%-30% loss in bone density. Considering all such factors, we pay complete attention towards our patients and focus on tracing exact reasons.
