Osteoporosis

A condition that weakens the structural integrity of bones and makes them prone to breakage

Osteoporosis Bone Causes and Treatment

Due to the slowing down of bone cell generation, bones become brittle and break easily with minimum impact. This condition is called osteoporosis and affects 29% women between the ages of 30 and 60. There is a chance that osteoporosis goes undetected until a fracture occurs. However, it could be osteoporosis if you experience:

  • Sudden back pain, which gets worse when standing up.
  • Widespread pain in back and joints
  • Back pain that gets relieved when lying down.
  • Pain while twisting and bending.
  • Tiredness and stiffness
  • Posture changes in the back and along the spine.
  • Professional diagnosis required
  • Chronic, can last for years
  • Treatable with 12 weeks of QI Spine Therapy

Osteoporosis is caused by:

  • Aging: Most patients are 30-60 years old.
  • Heredity: A person is prone to osteoporosis if the condition is present in family history.
  • Gender: Women are more affected than men.
  • Race: Caucasian and Asian women are more prone to osteoporosis.
  • Low body weight/bone mass weight: Shorter people are at greater risk of osteoporosis.
  • Low sex hormones: Post-menopausal women are more affected.
  • Smoking/consuming tobacco:Smoking accelerates the symptoms and decreases bone density.
  • Deficiency in Vitamin D or Calcium: The lack of essential minerals decreases bone mass, making it more susceptible to the condition.
  • Professional diagnosis required
  • Chronic, can last for years
  • Treatable with 4 weeks of QI Spine Therapy

There is no cure for osteoporosis, only active self-care and lifestyle management can help improve a patients condition. It can be controlled by:

  • Isolation Treatment: We work on strengthening the extensor muscles in the affected area, providing immediate pain relief and preventing further degeneration. This is a long-lasting solution.
  • Making lifestyle changes.
  • Eating healthy and consuming calcium supplements.
  • Managing one’s weight.
  • Increased exposure to the sun.
  • Medication to reduce inflammation.
  • Exercise and physiotherapy.
  • Professional diagnosis required
  • Chronic, can last for years
  • Treatable with 4 weeks of QI Spine Therapy
