Osteoporosis Care at Life Care Super Speciality Hospital

Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease that affects millions, particularly postmenopausal women and the elderly, leading to decreased bone density and increased risk of fractures. Often referred to as the "silent disease," osteoporosis progresses without any obvious symptoms until a fracture occurs, usually in the hip, spine, or wrist. These fractures can lead to severe pain, long-term disability, and a significant impact on the quality of life.

At Life Care Super Speciality Hospital, we understand the importance of early detection and proactive management of osteoporosis, offering comprehensive care that combines advanced diagnostics, personalized treatment, and patient education.

Our Orthopedic and Endocrinology Departments work collaboratively to provide a multidisciplinary approach to osteoporosis care. Using cutting-edge diagnostic tools like Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scans, we assess bone density accurately, allowing for early intervention before fractures happen. For patients diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia, our specialists develop individualized treatment plans that may include pharmacological treatments such as bisphosphonates, hormone replacement therapy, or newer medications like denosumab, which help to strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk.

In addition to medication, we emphasize the importance of lifestyle modifications.

Our expert team provides guidance on nutrition, focusing on calcium and vitamin D intake, which are essential for bone health. We also offer physical therapy programs designed to improve strength, flexibility, and balance, helping patients reduce the risk of falls and maintain independence. At Life Care Super Speciality Hospital, our goal is not only to treat osteoporosis but to empower our patients with the knowledge and tools to protect their bone health for the long term.
