Empowering Osteoporosis Patients with Expert Chiropractic Care

Osteoporosis, a condition characterized by reduced bone mineral density and altered bone composition, heightens the risk of fractures. It manifests in three primary classifications: postmenopausal osteoporosis (primary type 1), senile osteoporosis (primary type 2), and secondary osteoporosis, which can arise from various medical conditions or prolonged medication use.

For postmenopausal women, primary type 1 osteoporosis is most prevalent, while primary type 2 osteoporosis affects both genders after 75, albeit more commonly in women. Secondary osteoporosis, affecting men and women equally, can manifest at any age due to underlying medical conditions or extended use of medications like glucocorticoids.

Reducing osteoporosis risks involves lifestyle adjustments, potentially coupled with medication or nutritional support. This comprehensive approach encompasses dietary changes, exercise, fall prevention, and essential nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and bisphosphonates.

In conjunction with these measures, gentle chiropractic adjustments play a crucial role. By ensuring proper alignment, chiropractic treatments alleviate unnecessary strain on weakened bones, mitigating the risk of compression fractures and spinal deformities associated with osteoporosis.

Chiropractic treatments at Randour Chiropractic can ensure proper alignment to keep unnecessary and uneven stress off of weakened bones due to osteoporosis, preventing compression fractures and spinal deformity. This means not only relief from pain but also a significant reduction in the risk of further complications.
