Osteoporosis is a progressive condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle, making them
susceptible to fractures even from minor stresses like bending over or coughing. The bones lose density and mass, leading to increased porosity and vulnerability.

The most common osteoporosis-related fractures occur in the hip, wrist, and spine. These fractures can be particularly debilitating and impact an individual’s independence and quality of life.
Women, especially post-menopausal, and older individuals are at a higher risk for osteoporosis due to hormonal changes and reduced bone density with age. However, it can affect anyone, regardless of gender or age.

At Dr. Puneet Mashru’s Advanced Rheumatology & Arthritis Clinic, we emphasize preventive measures and early detection for osteoporosis. Our comprehensive approach includes bone density testing and tailored management plans to reduce the risk of fractures and enhance bone health.

Treatment for osteoporosis often involves a combination of lifestyle changes, calcium and vitamin D supplements, medications, and weight-bearing exercises. Our clinic’s team collaborates closely with patients to develop personalized strategies that fit their unique needs and medical history.

We strive to empower our patients to take charge of their bone health, providing education and support
to minimize the impact of osteoporosis on their daily lives. Through regular monitoring and ongoing care, we aim to help individuals maintain strong and resilient bones and live life to the fullest.

If you suspect or have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, don’t wait to address it. Take a proactive step towards better bone health by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Puneet Mashru’s Advanced Rheumatology & Arthritis Clinic. Together, we can build a foundation for a future with reduced fracture
risk and improved bone strength.
